Yandex search system 1. Yandex - setting up the main page, registration and login, as well as the history of the company's formation

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to talk about the most successful Internet company on the RuNet.

If you think about it, more than half of the users come to my blog from this, and the lion’s share of mine comes from income from displaying YAN advertising units (through Profit Partner).

For webmasters, probably, first of all, Yandex is a search engine that occupies a leading position in the RuNet (it recently even absorbed ). Moreover, modern realities are such that it would be extremely unwise to not take into account the features of this search engine when optimizing a site, since it is it that aggregates the lion’s share of commercial queries. If you don’t receive targeted visitors from it, it’s not a fact that you will be able to get them from . they simply may not be there.

Yandex main page, themes and settings

But at the same time, Yandex has long outgrown the short pants of a pure search engine and has become for many users the place from which they begin their journey on the Internet - a multiportal. Millions of users now use its image search, Mail, and dozens of other services. The main competitor Google also has all this, but nevertheless, the majority of the audience in our network segment votes for the domestic manufacturer.

Let's start looking at the portal with its home page. Many specialists worked on its creation and layout, and on the initial page you will find almost everything you might need at first. Only later, having become a little more comfortable and having decided which services you will need in the first place, you will be able to completely rebuild it to suit your taste and needs.

We’ll talk about registration, receiving a mailbox, and more below in the text. Now let us note that much of what most users may need can already be found on the main page. I have highlighted in orange the services that I personally use from time to time.

Also on the main page, when you scroll, you will find a list of Internet materials that may be of interest to you. Yandex knows your preferences and tries to show only the most interesting things to you in this feed. Judge for yourself how well he succeeds:

However, all people are different and their interests also differ. Therefore, at the very top of the main page you can always see a drop-down list called « Personal settings» (gear icon in the upper right area of the screen). By clicking on it, you can choose one of four options:

Let's go to the first tab Set up Yandex. Here we will be given the opportunity to delete, configure, drag and drop existing widgets on the main page, and if desired, add new ones:

When saving the changes, deletions or rearrangements of blocks on the main page (the “Save” button), you need to understand that if you have not registered on Yandex.ru, then it will only be linked to the browser from which you made these settings (remembered in cookies) . In another browser, you will see the default home page.

As you can see, not only the main page settings are concentrated here, but also global and fundamental things. Let's look at them in more detail (it is clear that it would be better to save them specifically for your account):

Registration and receipt of Yandex Passport

You have two options to work with this portal. You can register with Yandex and receive a free mailbox with good spam cutting, or you can forget about registration and just work with the main page and other services that allow you to do this without authorization.

Probably, the first option (with registration) would be preferable, because in this way you can use the system’s potential to the maximum.

It is clear that this is not an exact statistic, because in addition to the Ru domain zone, there are other domain zones, and not everyone has a LiveInternet counter installed. However, this sample can still be considered representative and it follows from it that Yandex is quite confidently leading in the Russian-language segment of the Internet.

He bit off more than half of the bagel, which is quite a lot, considering the multimillion-dollar audience of the RuNet. It is clear that Yandex’s share in global search is small (from one to two percent) and Google already categorically reigns there. And in RuNet, if we consider the audience of users entering information queries (who do not need to buy something), the shares of Yandex and Google will be almost the same. I judge this by analyzing the statistics of my blog site:

But this, of course, is not a representative sample at all, but rather my own IMHO. By the way, if you analyze the positions of my site for various popular search queries (for example, you can look at its visibility in), you will notice that these two giants often have completely different assessments of the same web pages.

Over the next few years (until 1996), active work was carried out to improve search algorithms and take into account the morphology of the language. During this time several were released software products(Academic edition of the classics on CD ROM, Bible computer reference book), where all these developments were used, but, as you yourself understand, all this did not make it possible to realize the full potential of search algorithms and did not allow serious money to be made from it. There was practically no Internet in RuNet at that time.

By the way, it was during this period that the name for the developed search technology was invented, namely Yandex, which means “Language Index”. Although there are still many interpretations of the origin of the brand, this does not change the essence. The development team had a desire and conviction that selling the search technology itself would be much more profitable than selling products built on it.

In 1996, at the Netcom exhibition, the company, which at that time was still a department of the Arcadia company, offered its first products for site search (Yandex.Site) and search by CD content (Ya.CD). Well, as well as a separate product that implements Ya.Lib search technology. In the same year, the company went online and, using the Ya.Dict product, made it possible to make queries in Russian to the AltaVista search engine, which was popular in the bourgeoisie at that time ( Google didn't exist yet).

But all this was not what would allow the company to really develop in all its glory. It lacked its own index of all RuNet sites. Well, the employees of the company (at that time a department of the Arcadia company) strained themselves and created search robot, which quite quickly bypassed all five thousand sites available in RuNet (at that time) and collected an index text file weighing only four gigabytes.

All. In 1997, at the Softool exhibition, it was announced new website yandex.ru(a project codenamed Yandex-Web), which was launched on September 23.

By the way, the first version of the design for it was drawn by Artemy Lebedev, now known to all of you:

At first, to work with the search system, it was necessary to enter specially formulated queries (using logical operators), but after a few months they got rid of this and the search engine could be addressed as a simple interlocutor. In the same year, a forum was opened to communicate with visitors and solve their problems, which existed until 2008.

Yandex was already at that time successfully combating duplicate content in different or slightly different content, and identical documents were removed from the search results. In addition, they were used to allow placement at the top search results links to the most relevant (meeting the user's request) documents.

It turns out that the development of the Internet in RuNet coincided very well with the fact that the Yandex company had previously been working seriously on the problems of searching in Russian using huge text arrays for quite a long time.

This probably played a decisive role in the further dizzying rise - after all, all he had to do was transfer his developments to the web and pay attention to the development of related services and thinking through ways to extract income from all this. The main thing was be at the right time and in the right place. Segalovich and Volazh succeeded, for which I congratulate them - well done.

But, as it were, the story does not end there, but, on the contrary, is just beginning. Next year, 1998, work is underway to improve the search engine, new ones appear functionality for users (search in what was found, find similar documents, etc.), and also undergoes a slight change in the design of the main page (getting these screenshots turned out to be quite simple, because there is such a service as, which performs the function of a time machine):

In 1999, the Internet began to gain popularity by leaps and bounds in the Russian-speaking segment of the network, and in connection with this, the number of documents indexed by Yandex significantly increased, which it succeeded by launching a new robot that scans Runet sites. In the same year, a new project was launched, which lasted until 2012.

What’s interesting is that starting this year, Yandex seriously took up spam filtering, began to take into account the contents of Alt tags for images, and in addition to the text of the document itself, when ranking, it began to consider those leading to it from other sites on the network (the birth of full-fledged link ranking). Well, the design of its main page has changed significantly:

Development of a new search engine and related services

In 2000, a number of events occurred that predetermined the further success of Yandex.ru. If you look at the previous three screenshots of its homepage design, you'll notice the CompTek logo. This is quite logical, because the development team at that time was part of the programming department of this company. But in 2000, this department was spun off back into a separate company, but which was no longer called “Arcadia”, but Yandex.

By the way, at this time they had not yet worked out a scheme for generating income and they were forced to attract an investor. The ru-Net Holdings corporation invested about five million dollars in the search engine, for which it received a third of the assets of the Yandex company. In general, it turned out to be a very profitable deal, because now search engine number one in RuNet is already worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the same year, the famous one appeared, and was also introduced, with the help of which the ranking of sites in this directory was carried out (see the money we are already familiar with in the given screenshot).

Moreover, Tietz was assigned to all indexed resources (regardless of their location or not in the directory) and, unlike the thematic index, was assigned to the entire site, and not to its individual pages. It is measured in digital values from 0 to infinity and is a linear value, and Page rank has only eleven gradations from 0 to 10 and is a logarithmic value.

In addition, in 2000, Yandex was already being formed as a multiportal, because it was at this time that services such as Mail, News, Bookmarks, Postcards, well, and a bare search bar at the address appeared ya.ru(Google’s home page looks the same - complete asceticism). A number of services have also appeared that will later become the Market. Well, even before the heap, in 2000, it first saw the light of day, which users could install as an add-on for their browser (now it has been renamed Elements).

The main achievement of the company in 2001 can be considered that it became the most visited site in the RuNet, the index base grew to the size of one terabyte, and an image search service appeared.

Well, it was published around the same time. Traditionally, the design of the main page has also changed:

In 2002, on the basis of three separate services, the now well-known and handy tool search and selection of the desired product - . There was also a significant event in the history of the company - it completely switched to self-sufficiency due to the opening of the service.

The design of the main page has become even closer to the modern version:

2003 became the first year of self-sufficiency, and this search system, in addition to ordinary Html pages, learned to index documents in RTF, PDF, and DOC formats, and a year later it was the turn of Flash sites. A serious spam tool called “Self-Defense” appeared in Y.Mail, and Direct began working on the pay-per-click principle this year.

In 2004, the company's profit already amounted to about ten million greens, search services appeared on the map, as well as on blogs and forums. Around the same year, on the RuNet search market a powerful competitor has appeared in Google, in connection with which Yandex expanded its staff approximately tenfold to adequately respond.

All interested users were involved in the development of the design of the main page, and as a result, this version of the main page existed right up to 2007 without changes:

In 2005, Yandex decided to think about expansion and a representative office of this company appeared in Nezalezhnaya. And at the end of the same year, a very remarkable event took place for many webmasters - it opened. Don't know what it is?

Now all website owners have the opportunity to post on the pages of their sites contextual advertising and receive fifty percent of the price of each click. For this I want to express special respect, well, and even greater respect to my tsop (partner service center) Profit Partner, because they actually feed me. Also this year, the Ya.Dictionaries service appeared.

In 2006, Yandex.Maps became able to display traffic jams and a tool for identifying public opinion appeared, where reviews were actually searched for on blogs and forums.

In 2007, a now quite popular analytics tool appeared, which was initially focused primarily on the needs of advertisers in Direct.

Well, the Ukrainian search engine Yandex.ua opened, which now aggregates about a quarter of the search in Nezalezhnaya, and the first version also appeared. Plus made up new design main:

In 2008, the company opened an office in the states and at the same time, support for international standards, MediaRSS, etc. was added to the engine algorithms. This allowed the company to successfully index burzhunet sites that had long supported these standards. Well, from that moment on the Yandex logo began to be written entirely in Russian:

And the design of the main page has undergone its latest reincarnation:

The main event of 2009 was the introduction of regional search (in the Snezhinsk algorithm), which gave Yandex a certain head start relative to Google, whose regional search was divided only by country, and not by city. In 2010, search engine users appeared and were given the opportunity to search only by burzhenet, both through Yandex.ru and through.com.

Around the same time, Ukrainian regional search appeared, and self-learning began to be used to calculate the relevance formula Matrixnet algorithm and Spectrum technology comes into effect.

Matrixnet uses assessments of assessors (determining the quality of individual sites on the network) as reference points, and Spectrum allows you to take into account in the search results all possible meanings included by the user in the query (for example, for the query “Napoleon” it is quite difficult to decide what the user wants to know about - about a cake or about an outstanding figure in history).

Well, in 2011, the leader of Runet search placed its shares on the NASDAQ exchange. I don’t understand the intricacies of this matter, but Yandex gained a huge amount from this (more than a billion in greenbacks), which is slightly less than the amount that Google received in a similar placement in 2004.

That's it, but the story of Yandex does not end there and, most likely, will continue for many years to come.

Now they already have quite a few offices in different cities of the world and if you believe the photographs, the atmosphere in the company is quite democratic:

Features of promotion under Yandex (differences from Google.ru)

Now let's return to the problems of webmasters and optimizers - how to promote your website under Yandex? It's not as simple as it might seem at first glance. In fact, for myself I do not share promotion under different search engines into individual components (), but there are nuances and differences and many people focus on them:

As a rule, when promoting a competitive search query, you should have several pages on the site at once that would answer the this request. One of them will be upgraded by you external links, and the rest will create the appearance that your resource is focused on answering this user request.

When promoting under Yandex (and under Google.ru, but to a lesser extent), you should take into account that now such a thing as density no longer works keywords(). Search has an excellent understanding of the peculiarities of the Russian language and is able to make an assessment of the topic of an article according to the vector that it contains.

Those. must be in the article, but in a very limited quantity, and all those words and phrases that, in the opinion of the search engine, should be present in such texts (vector) must also be present.

Recently, Yandex has been advocating that article texts should not be over-optimized and threatens to punish people for this. It seems to me that re-optimization alone will not be enough to impose a veto - it is necessary that the behavior of users indicates that this text is spam.
When ranking, it also takes into account the age of the site (not the domain) and its trustworthiness. Google also takes this into account, but to a slightly lesser extent.
External links influence website promotion in Yandex to a slightly lesser extent than when promoting in Google.
“Runet Mirror” loves a variety of both link sources and their anchors (texts).
As I already said, in the domestic search engine the share of commercial queries is significantly higher than in the bourgeois analogue and competition for them will be much higher
When ranking in search results, Google pays more attention to the page that is most relevant to the request (as if in isolation from the site), and Yandex also evaluates other pages of the same resource, as well as the entire resource as a whole.
Well, both search engines now actively take into account when determining the relevance of pages, because they allow you to attract a huge number of users (for free) to assess the quality of the site.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

After setting Yandex as your home page, you can go further and personalize it for the user. So to speak, set up the desktop.

The process is not complicated if you figure out what needs to be done step by step. Yandex has a huge number of useful, convenient and necessary tools that will make your daily work more comfortable and progressive.

Customization occurs by adding widgets to it (icons with the necessary programs) and changing the interface to suit the user (a nice theme for your page).

Yandex itself offers us to add and configure widgets in the order that is convenient for us, install any theme, and change basic personal settings.

To fully cover the entire range of services provided by Yandex, it is worth registering for correspondence and storage important information online.

Don't worry, they won't be shared publicly with everyone. This is like a personal safe deposit box in a bank where your documents, photos and others are stored.

So, to set up the home page we need:

Log in to your Yandex.mail that you registered.
We open there "Personal settings" and select the menu item "Set up Yandex" .

We arrange the widgets in the order we need, moving them to the places we need. Press the button "Save" .
Go to the menu item "Put a topic" , select the one you like and click "Save topic"

So now home page has acquired a completely different look, pleasant to you, convenient and pleasant to use.

What if the start page doesn’t want to change? Have you tried all of the above methods, but are still downloading Webalta, Pirrit Suggestor, Conduit Search or other suspicious sources?

Probably the only problem that every user is likely to encounter is the inability to change the start page in the browser due to one or another malicious software(BY).

And then constantly on the start page we can see how Conduit Search, Webalta or Pirrit Suggestor are loaded, which we do not need at all. We will discuss how to deal with this further.

Be sure to check your computer for viruses or other malware using an antivirus.

If the antivirus says that there are no viruses, then you will have to look for additional information about removing undetected malware.

In the same way, you should not forget to check your browser shortcut. But still, if there is a problem and when you launch Chrome, Opera or Mozilla, Webalta opens, then you should definitely review and check for errors in the properties of the launch shortcuts. To do this you need:

"Properties" column in the Chrome browser shortcut

2 Next, go to the bookmark "Label" and looking for a stanza "Object" . You need to make sure that there is no mention of Webalta after specifying the path to the browser file. The clean one should look like this: “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe”. If something unnecessary is mentioned at the end, then unconditionally delete it and click "Apply" . If there is, then we delete this part, after which we confirm our actions by pressing the button "OK" .
