Yandex does not show mirrors to a website, only the main one. Pity!

Yandex is market-leader in Russia and definitely is much more trusted, popular and comfortable SE even comparing with Google.
Google even try make additional adspot campaign on billboards, BTL and online (what as I can notice is out of their principals in other countries) but Yandex still is number one, more lovely and innovative brand. For example, Yandex Blog Search or Yandex News Service are much more clever and hign-quality comparing with the same Google services.

Please note that Mail.Ru company (4th in the chart), that shares with Yandex 1st and 2nd place in portal traffic competition is also using Yandex search engine now. They have developed own search gogo.ru having a couple of percents of the market, but they don’t use it for the mail.ru portal. Every couple of years Mail.Ru makes a choice from Yandex / Google / Gogo.ru, once they used Google, but for last years they decided Yandex as the best for their portal users.
Google grows in Russia, but it pulls out Rambler users. Yandex got down for about 5% a couple of years ago since Google came in, but it does not go down any more.

It’s a very good idea to replace Google with Yandex as a default search engine. Although Google is obvious leader in web searching, Yandex is much better adapted for the needs of average Russian-speaking user. Believe me, I’m Russian myself. And, if you want, from Yandex website you can in one click re-search your query directly in Google. So Google fans won’t lose much, if any.

What Alexander says. Yandex, from what I’ve been told, is a better option than Google in Russia, due to their technology being better at dealing with Russian semantics.

It’s only what I have heard, as my Russian is definitely too rusty!
