andex Launches Browser Leveraging Its Cloud Expertise
MOSCOW and THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Oct. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yandex (Nasdaq:YNDX), the leading internet company in Russia operating the country's most popular search engine and most visited website, today announced the release of its own internet browser in Russia.
A pioneer in information retrieval technologies, Yandex has been delivering cutting-edge products and services finely tuned to the evolving needs of internet users in Russia and abroad for more than 15 years. Now the company is bringing its expertise to internet browsing.
"Cloud-based browsing is a next-generation answer to the challenges of the modern internet," said Arkady Volozh, CEO of Yandex. "To make the internet experience faster, easier and safer for everyone, we have built a cloud-based browser that integrates the best of our products and services and is open to other web developers."
In-depth knowledge of web page structure and user behaviour allowed Yandex to create a browser that facilitates an easy and safe internet navigation. The Yandex browser features a merged search and address bar, which can be used both to surf and to search the internet. The browser also gives its users a choice of search engines with which to power their search. Users do not need to change the settings - a new search provider can easily be picked at a click for each specific search.
The users of Yandex's browser can see locally relevant information, such as current traffic or weather conditions, in real time, right in the browser interface. Equipped with proprietary machine-learned automated translation technology, the browser considerably expands the browsing territory for those who speak only one language. The company's cloud-based safe browsing technology, together with Kaspersky Lab's security solution, enhances the browser's safety by warning the users about potentially malicious websites.
The Yandex browser uses the WebKit engine, popular with a large number of web developers. The browser's user interface is based on the open-source Chromium code. The Yandex browser platform has through a technological partnership with a key long term partner been expanded to incorporate Opera Software's Turbo technology, which allows to boost the browser's page loading capacity even with a slow connection. The Turbo mode will be included in the next browser release. In addition to the basic open-source components, the browser has also been augmented with out-of-the-box plug-ins, including the latest versions of Adobe FlashTM and a PDF reader.
The Yandex browser supports Windows and Mac OS and can be downloaded at browser.yandex.com.

Yandex Launches Comparison Shopping for Clothing
MOSCOW, Sept. 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yandex (Nasdaq:YNDX) today launched garderob.yandex.ru, a specialized comparison shopping service enabling users to compare clothes and footwear online. Online shoppers can pick from nearly a million products from hundreds of major retailers in Russia and Ukraine. Items of clothing and footwear aggregated from numerous online shops are all available to view, compare and purchase at garderob.yandex.ru.
"Fashion comes first when shopping for clothes or shoes, followed by the manufacturer and the cost. Unlike the purchase of consumer electronics, where the product's technical specifications are the decisive factor, what matters most when buying clothes is that the purchased item looks good on the wearer," says Alexey Avdey, head of the Yandex.Market service. "The new comparison shopping service is based on the ideas we implemented in Yandex.Market, the largest online shopping aggregator in Russia and Ukraine. This new service, however, is more visual — our users can instantly see what a chosen item looks like right in their search results, and then zoom in to view the details."
Garderob.yandex.ru has clothes for everyone — adults, children, fashionistas, sports junkies, future moms, and even future brides. Like other categories on Yandex.Market, the clothes shopping service has convenient filter options to view, for instance, all items of a chosen brand or, conversely, all brands for a chosen item. For those shoppers who know exactly what they are looking for, the search filters on the service can sieve out all irrelevant results to show only, for example, red coats in size medium, or suede boots under 5,000 rubles.
Shoppers on garderob.yandex.ru can also receive expert assistance with sizing. Someone unsure whether 28/34 Levi's jeans are the right size can switch to the Russian or European sizing systems. And those who have no idea what size they are can read about how to take measurements.
The newly launched comparison shopping service already offers consumer satisfaction ratings for all participating retailers, and user reviews for those shops that have already been reviewed on Yandex.Market. Online shoppers can use this information to make their decisions and share their own customer experiences. Yandex's own quality control service regularly checks all participating stores for accuracy of listed information, including product availability, price, and delivery times.
Watch the video about how to choose clothes on Yandex (in Russian).
Yandex.Market is a comparison shopping system for choosing products or retailers online. According to TNS, as of August 2012, the service's monthly audience in Russia was 13.4 million.
About 2.4 million searches on Yandex per day — 1.5% of all search queries — are about clothes, shoes, or accessories.

We are the leading internet company in Russia, operating the most popular search engine and the most visited website. In 2010, we generated 64% of all search traffic in Russia and were the largest Russian internet company by revenue. In March 2011, our yandex.ru website attracted 38.3 million unique visitors. We also operate in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Our mission is to answer any question internet users may have. To that end, we utilize our capabilities in applied mathematics and data analysis and our in-depth knowledge of the languages, cultures and preferences of internet users in our markets to develop advanced search technology and information retrieval services. We also aggregate and organize extensive local, national and international content and offer a broad range of additional services. Our search and many of our services are location-based and are available in versions tailored for mobile and other digital platforms and devices.
Benefiting from Russia's long-standing educational focus on mathematics and engineering, we have drawn upon the considerable local talent pool to create a leading technology company. For over 20 years, our founding team has been developing and optimizing search technology, which has formed the core of our business and helped Yandex become one of the best known brands in Russia. Our users are our first priority, and we are committed to advancing our technology to continuously improve their internet experience.
Our search engine uses our proprietary algorithms to provide relevant results, which we structure and present in an editorially neutral and user-friendly manner. With a focus on our principal geographic markets, our search technology allows us to provide local search results in more than 1,400 cities. We also feature ''parallel'' search, which presents on a single page the results from both our main web index and our specialized information resources, including news, shopping, blogs, images and videos. Our blog search also includes feeds from leading blog hosting and social networking sites in Russia, including LiveJournal, Vkontakte and Facebook. We offer convenient access to our search engine through personal computers, mobile phones, tablets, and navigation and other digital devices. We also offer a wide range of specialized search, personalized and location-based services, including Yandex.News, Yandex.Market, Yandex.Mail and Yandex.Maps.
Our homepage, which attracted 24.7 million unique visitors in March 2011 according to TNS, provides a gateway to the wealth of information available online. Users can find answers to their explicit questions through our search box, as well as their implicit questions through current news, weather and road traffic reports, TV and movie schedules, personal email and other services. Our homepage can easily be customized by users to address their individual interests.
We derive substantially all of our revenues from online advertising. We enable advertisers to deliver targeted, cost-effective ads that are relevant to our users' needs, interests and locations. Most of our revenues are derived from text-based advertising, which uses keywords selected by our advertisers to deliver ads based on a particular user query, the content of a website or webpage being viewed, or user behavior or characteristics. We derive a smaller portion of our revenues from display advertising, which principally consists of graphical ads that appear on specific webpages. Our ads are clearly marked and separate from our organic search results and from the content of the webpages on which they may also appear. We do not serve intrusive ads, such as ''pop-ups,'' that might detract from our users' experience.
In addition to serving ads on our own search results and other webpages, we deliver ads to the thousands of third-party websites that make up our Yandex ad network. Through our ad network, we generate revenue for both our network partners and us and extend the audience reach of our advertisers. Our Yandex.Direct service, the largest automated, auction-based system for the placement of text-based advertising in Russia, makes it easy for advertisers to bid for desired keywords and to obtain the best price for their ads. We served ads for more than 127,000 advertisers in the first quarter of 2011 compared with 92,000 in the first quarter of 2010, 180,000 advertisers in the full year 2010 and 131,000 in the full year 2009, including many small and medium-sized businesses throughout Russia and the other countries in which we operate.
