"Geocities has 98,000 listings - does that make any sense at all?"

Geocities hosts websites - it didn't develop the sites. These are 98,000 sites developed by 98,000 people - which works out to one listing per person.

I'm sure there are some people who developed two geocities sites that are listed - but, if one site is about dogs and one is about horses, both sites could be suggested. We're talking, in this instance, about unrelated topics. Dogs sites are listed in Recreation and horse sites are listed in Sports.

There are other exceptions to the one suggestion per website. Like if a site has a regional relevance and fits a topical category as well - it can be suggested to both its location and its topic. Or if a site is hand translated into a variety of languages - it can be suggested to all of the languages in World that it has been hand translated into (and English as well if it's in that language).
