General

  This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of CMGI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), for use at the Company's Special Meeting of Stockholders (the
"Meeting") to be held at the offices of the Company, 100 Brickstone Square,
Andover, Massachusetts 01810 on Friday, May 5, 2000, at 10:00 a.m. local time,
and at any meeting following adjournment thereof. The Notice of Special
Meeting, this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed
to stockholders on or about March 23, 2000. The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 100 Brickstone Square, Andover, Massachusetts 01810 and
its telephone number is (978) 684-3600.

  All share numbers and share prices provided in this Proxy Statement have
been adjusted to reflect all stock splits effected prior to the date hereof.

Solicitation

  The cost of solicitation of proxies, including expenses in connection with
preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement, will be borne by the Company.
Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses,
nominees, fiduciaries and custodians to forward to beneficial owners of Common
Stock held in their names. In addition, the Company will reimburse brokerage
firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of stock for their
reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial
owners. In addition to original solicitation of proxies by mail, the Company's
directors, officers and other employees may, without additional compensation,
solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile and personal interviews.

Record Date, Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares

  The Board of Directors has fixed March 16, 2000 as the record date (the
"Record Date") for determining holders of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01
par value per share (the "Common Stock"), who are entitled to vote at the
Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had 280,444,939 shares of Common
Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Common Stock entitles
the record holder to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Meeting.
A majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled
to vote at the Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Votes
withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes shall be counted for purposes of
determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of
business at the Meeting.

  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the Record Date is required to approve the amendment to
the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

  Shares which abstain from voting as to a particular matter, and shares held
in "street name" by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that
they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a
particular matter ("broker non-votes"), will not be counted as votes in favor
of such matter, and will also not be counted as votes cast or shares voting on
such matter. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same
effect as a vote against the proposed amendment to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, which requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding shares.

                                       1

  Stockholders may vote by any one of the following means:

  . By telephone (toll free);

  . Over the Internet; or

  . In person, at the Meeting.

  To vote by mail, sign, date and complete the enclosed proxy card and return
it in the enclosed envelope. No postage is necessary if the proxy card is
mailed in the United States. Instructions for voting by using a toll-free
telephone number or over the Internet can be found on your proxy card. If you
hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, they will give you
separate instructions for voting your shares.

Revocability of Proxy and Voting of Shares

  Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before
it is exercised. The proxy may be revoked by filing with the Secretary of the
Company, at the principal executive offices of the Company, 100 Brickstone
Square, Andover, Massachusetts 01810, an instrument of revocation or a duly

voted at the Meeting in accordance with the stockholder's instructions
indicated on the proxy card. If no instructions are indicated, the proxy will
be voted FOR the approval of the amendment to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and in accordance with the judgment
of the proxy holders as to any other matter that may be properly brought
before the Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

                                  PROPOSAL 1

      APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION,
                                  AS AMENDED

  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Certificate of Incorporation"), currently authorizes the issuance of
400,000,000 shares of Common Stock. On March 8, 2000, the Board of Directors
adopted resolutions, subject to stockholder approval, proposing that the
Certificate of Incorporation be amended to increase the authorized number of
shares of Common Stock to 1,400,000,000 shares. As of March 16, 2000, the
Company had approximately 280,444,939 shares of Common Stock outstanding,
approximately 9,514,333 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance
upon the conversion of outstanding shares of preferred stock and other
convertible securities, and approximately 41,811,157 shares of Common Stock
reserved for future issuance under the Company's stock benefit plans. Based on
the foregoing, as of March 16, 2000, the Company had approximately 68,229,571
shares of Common Stock authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation
remaining available for other purposes.

Proposed Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

  The Board of Directors has adopted resolutions setting forth the proposed
amendment to the first paragraph of Article Fourth of the Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Amendment"), the advisability of the Amendment, and a call
for submission of the Amendment for approval by the Company's stockholders at
the Meeting. The following is the text of the first paragraph of Article
Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation, as proposed to be amended:

  FOURTH. The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation
  is authorized to issue is one billion four hundred five million
  (1,405,000,000) shares, of which one billion four hundred million
  (1,400,000,000) shares shall be common stock, par value $.01 per share
  ("Common Stock"), and five million (5,000,000) shares shall be preferred
  stock, par value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock").

Purpose and Effect of the Proposed Amendment

  The Board of Directors believes that it is in the Company's best interest to
increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to give the
Company additional flexibility to maintain a reasonable stock price with
future stock splits and stock dividends. Since the Company's initial public
offering in 1994, the Company has completed one 3-for-2 split and five
separate 2-for-1 splits of the Common Stock. The current number of authorized
shares of Common Stock that are not outstanding or reserved for issuance is
not sufficient to enable the Company to implement stock splits in the future.
The Board believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares will
provide the Company with the flexibility necessary to implement future stock
splits without the expense of a special stockholder meeting or having to wait
until the next annual meeting.

  The Company has acquired a number of companies as part of implementing its
business strategy. The Company has stated that, as part of its business
strategy, it intends to continue to acquire additional companies. The Company
typically uses shares of Common Stock to pay for acquisitions. The Board
believes that the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock is desirable to maintain the Company's flexibility in choosing
how to pay for acquisitions.

  The Board also believes that the availability of additional shares of Common
Stock will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue shares for a
variety of other purposes that the Board of Directors may deem advisable
without further action by the Company's stockholders, unless required by law,
regulation or stock market rule. These purposes could include, among other
things, the sale of stock to obtain additional capital funds, the purchase of
property, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and
other employee benefit plans, and other bona fide corporate purposes. In some
situations, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could have a
dilutive effect on earnings per share, and, for a person who does not purchase
additional shares to maintain his or her pro rata interest, on a stockholder's
percentage voting power in the Company. In addition, depending upon the nature
and terms thereof, such issuances could enable the Board to

                                       5
<PAGE>

render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain a controlling
interest in the Company or the removal of the incumbent Board and may
discourage unsolicited takeover attempts which might be desirable to
stockholders. For example, the issuance of shares of Common Stock in a public
or private sale, merger or similar transaction would increase the number of
the Company's outstanding shares, thereby diluting the interest of a party
seeking to take over the Company. Furthermore, many companies have issued
warrants or other rights to acquire additional shares to the holders of Common
Stock to discourage or defeat unsolicited stock accumulation programs and
acquisition proposals. If this amendment is adopted, more Common Stock of the
Company would be available for such purposes than is currently available.

  The Board of Directors is not proposing the Amendment in response to any
effort to accumulate the Company's stock or to obtain control of the Company
by means of a merger, tender offer or solicitation in opposition to
management. In addition, the Amendment is not part of any plan by management
to recommend a series of similar amendments to the Board of Directors and the
stockholders. Finally, the Board does not currently contemplate recommending
the adoption of any other amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation which
could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or
change control of the Company. Holders of Common Stock do not have preemptive
rights to subscribe to additional securities that may be issued by the
Company. This means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to
purchase any new issue of Common Stock of the Company in order to maintain
their proportionate ownership interest.

  The Board of Directors believes that the approval of the Amendment is in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends a vote FOR
the approval of the Amendment.

Other Matters

  The Board does not know of any other matter which may come before the
Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented to the Meeting, it is the
intention of the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy card to
vote, or otherwise to act, in accordance with their best judgment on such
matters.

  The Board hopes that stockholders will attend the Meeting. Whether or not
you plan to attend, you are urged to sign, date and complete the enclosed

Proposals of Stockholders for 2000 Annual Meeting

  Any proposal that a stockholder of the Company wishes to be considered for
inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and proxy card for the Company's
2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2000 Annual Meeting") must be
submitted to the Secretary of the Company at its offices, 100 Brickstone
Square, Andover, Massachusetts 01810, no later than July 22, 2000. In
addition, such proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

  If a stockholder of the Company wishes to present a proposal before the 2000
Annual Meeting, but does not wish to have the proposal considered for
inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and proxy card, such stockholder
must also give written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the address
noted above. The Secretary must receive such notice no later than July 22,
2000. If a stockholder fails to provide timely notice of a proposal to be
presented at the 2000 Annual Meeting, the proxies designated by the Board of
Directors of the Company will have discretionary authority to vote on any such
proposal.
