How to set Yandex search engine as a start page? Yandex - setting up the home page, registering and logging in, as well as the history of the company's formation Installation in Opera.

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

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

For webmasters, probably, first of all, Yandex is a search engine that occupies a leading position in Runet (it even absorbed recently). Moreover, the realities of the modern are such that not taking into account the peculiarities of this search engine when optimizing a site would be extremely unwise, because it is she who aggregates the lion's share of commercial requests. Not getting targeted visitors from it is not a fact that you can get them from, because they simply may not be there.

Yandex home page, themes and settings

But at the same time Yandex has long ago 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 multi-portal. 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 audience of our network segment votes for the majority of the domestic manufacturer.

Let's start our review of the portal from its main page. Many specialists worked on its creation and layout, and it is on the initial page that you will find almost everything you may need at first. Only then, having got used to it a little and having decided which services you will need in the first place, you can completely rebuild it to suit your taste and needs.

About registration, receiving a mailbox and about that, we will talk a little lower in the text. Now let us note for ourselves that already a lot of what may be needed by the majority of users has a place to be on the main page. In orange, I underlined the services that I myself periodically use.

Also on the main page, when you scroll through it, 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 for you in this feed. Judge for yourself how much he does it:

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 items:

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

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 only the browser from which you made these settings will be bound (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 take a closer look at them (it is clear that it would be better to save them specifically for your account):

Registration and obtaining Yandex Passport

You have two possibilities to work with this portal. You can register with Yandex and receive a free mailbox with a good spam cutter as a gift, 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) will be preferable, because in this way you can use the potential of the system to the maximum.

It is clear that this is not an accurate statistic, because apart from the Ru domain zone from other domain zones, 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-speaking segment of the Internet.

He bit off more than half of the donut, which is very much, given the multimillion audience of the Russian Internet. It is clear that Yandex's share in world search is small (from one to two percent) and Google is already reigning supreme. And in Runet, if we consider the audience of users entering information requests (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 is, of course, not a representative sample at all, but rather my own IMHO. By the way, if you analyze the positions of my site for different popular search queries (for example, you can see its visibility in), you will notice that these two giants often have completely different assessments of the same web pages.

Over the next several years (up to 1996), active work was carried out to improve the search algorithms and take into account the morphology of the language in it. During this time, several software products were released (Academic edition of the classics on CD ROM, Biblical computer reference), where all these developments were applied, 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 make money. At that time, there was practically no Internet in the Russian Internet.

By the way, it was during this period that the name for the developed search technology was coined, namely Yandex, which stands for "Language Index"... Although there are still a lot of interpretations of the origin of the brand, this does not change the essence. The development team developed 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 a division of Arcadia, offered its first products for site search (Yandex.Site) and CD content search (Ya.CD). Well, as well as a separate product that implements the Ya.Lib search technology. In the same year, the company went online and, with the help of the product Ya.Dict, made it possible to make requests in Russian to the then popular bourgeoisie. search engine AltaVista ( Google hasn’t existed yet).

But all this was not what would allow the company to really unfold in all its glory. There was a lack of its own index of all sites on the Russian Internet. Well, the employees of the company (at that time a department of the Arcadia company) strained themselves and created a search robot that quickly bypassed all five thousand sites on the Russian Internet (at that time) and collected an index text file weighing only four gigabytes.

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

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 engine, it was required to enter queries formulated in a special way (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 for communicating with visitors and solving their problems, which lasted until 2008.

Yandex already at that time successfully fought with duplicates of content in different or slightly different ones, and identical documents were removed from the search results. In addition, there were used, allowing to place at the top of the search results links to the most relevant (responding to the user's request) documents.

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

Probably, this played a decisive role in the further dizzying take-off - after all, he only had to transfer his developments to the web and pay attention to the development of related services and thinking out ways to extract from all this income. The main thing was to be at the right time and in the right place... Segalovich and Volazh succeeded, with which I congratulate - well done.

But, however, the story does not end there, but, on the contrary, only begins. The next year, 1998, work is underway to improve the search engine, new functionality appears for users (search in the 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 in the Russian-speaking segment of the network by leaps and bounds, and in this regard, the number of documents indexed by Yandex has seriously increased, which he managed by launching a new robot that crawls Runet sites. In the same year, a new project was launched, which lasted until 2012.

Interestingly, starting from this year Yandex began to seriously filter spam, began to take into account the content of Alt tags for images, and, in addition to the text of the document itself, began to consider it when ranking and leading to it from other sites on the network (the emergence 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 took place that predetermined the further success of Yandex.ru. If you look at the previous three screenshots of its homepage design, you will notice the CompTek logo. This is quite logical, since the development team at that time was part of the programming department of this company. But in 2000, this department was separated back into a separate company, but which was already called not "Arcadia", but Yandex.

By the way, at that time they had not yet worked out a scheme for generating income and they had to attract an investor. The ru-Net Holdings corporation invested about $ 5 million in the search engine, for which it received a third of Yandex's assets. In general, it turned out to be a very profitable deal, because now the number one search engine in the Russian Internet costs hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the same year, the famous one appeared, and it was also introduced, with the help of which the ranking of sites in this directory was carried out (you can see the money already familiar to us in the screenshot above).

Moreover, Titz was assigned to all indexed resources (regardless of their location or not in the catalog) 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, while Page rank has only eleven gradations from 0 to 10 and is a logarithmic value.

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

The main achievement of the company in 2001 can be considered the fact that it has become the most visited website on the Russian Internet, the index base has grown to the size of one terabyte, and a search service by images has appeared.

Well, and around the same time, it saw the light. The design of the main page has traditionally changed:

In 2002, on the basis of three separate services, a now well-known and convenient tool for finding and selecting the right product was formed for all of you -. And there was also a significant event in the history of the company - it completely switched to self-sufficiency by opening the service.

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

2003 was the first year of self-sufficiency, and this search engine, in addition to the usual Html pages, learned to index documents in RTF formats, PDF, and DOC, well, and a year later the turn came to Flash sites. A serious spam cutter called "Self-defense" appeared in Ya.Pochta, and from this year Direct began to work on the principle of pay-per-clicks.

In 2004, the profit of the company already amounted to about ten million with greenery, services for searching by map, as well as by blogs and forums, appeared. Around the same year on the search market on the Russian Internet a powerful competitor appeared in the face of Google, in connection with which Yandex expanded its staff by about ten times for an adequate answer.

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 until 2007 without changes:

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

Now all site 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 a separate respect, well, and my COP (partner service center) Profit to the Partner even more respect, because they actually feed me. Also this year, the Ya.Slovari 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, an analytics tool, which is still quite popular now, appeared, which was initially focused primarily on the needs of advertisers in Yandex.Direct.

Well, the Ukrainian search engine Yandex.ua has opened, which now aggregates about a quarter of searches in the independent one, and the first version has also appeared. Plus, we made a new design for the main page:

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

And the design of the home page has undergone its last 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 consisted of breaking down only by country, and not by city. In 2010, the search engine users appeared and were able to search only in the bourgeoisie, both through Yandex.ru and through .com.

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

Matrixnet uses assessors (determining the quality of individual sites in the network) as benchmarks, and Spectrum allows you to take into account in the search results all possible meanings put into the query by the user (for example, at the query "Napoleon" it is rather difficult to decide what the user wants to know - about a cake or about an outstanding person in history).

Well, in 2011 the leader of the Russian Internet search placed its shares on the NASDAQ stock exchange. I don’t understand the intricacies of this case, but Yandex helped out with this a huge amount (more than a billion in green), which is slightly less than the amount that Google received in a similar placement in 2004.

That's all, but the history 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 pretty democratic:

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

Now let's get back to the problems of webmasters and SEOs - how to promote your site for Yandex? Not as easy as it might seem at first glance. In fact, for myself, I do not divide the promotion for different search engines into separate components (), but there are nuances and differences, and many 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 this query. One of them will be pumped by you with external links, and the rest will create the appearance that your resource is focused on responding to this user request.

When promoting under Yandex (and under Google.ru, but to a lesser extent), it should be borne in mind that now such a concept as keyword density () does not work. Search is excellently versed in the peculiarities of the Russian language and is able to make an assessment of the subject of an article according to the vector that it contains.

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

Recently Yandex has been advocating that the texts of articles not be over-optimized and threatens to punish for this. It seems to me that re-optimization alone will not be enough for vetoing - it is necessary that user behavior also says that this text is spam.
It also takes into account when ranking the age of the site (not the domain) and its trust. Google also takes this into account, but to a somewhat lesser extent.
External links influence website promotion in Yandex to a somewhat lesser extent than in Google promotion.
"Mirror of Runet" loves a variety of both sources of links 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 the 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 its entirety as a whole.
Well, in both search engines now, when determining the relevance of pages, they are actively taken into account, because they allow you to attract a huge number of users to assess the quality of the site (for free).

Relatively recently, a new development from the largest Russian search engine was presented - voice search Yandex.

This function allows you to enter search commands using your voice, that is, it works similarly to the already implemented system from Google.

How to use this function on a computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet will be described in this material.

Advantages

This is a free module, for which you do not need to install Yandex. Browser. Enough extension from Yandex, which can be installed in any browser;

This module is distributed free of charge;

The module exists in several variations - for correct operation on a computer, laptop, modular devices, etc .;
The module works quite correctly, voice commands are recognized clearly and correctly (although much depends on the hardware, for example, on the quality of the microphone);
Typing a search query by voice saves a significant amount of time, and is also convenient when your hands are busy (or in the cold).

From the above, we can conclude that this function is suitable for everyone who is used to using the function of voice input of a search query, but prefers to use Yandex, not Google.

disadvantages

Installation

The module discussed above is the Yandex extension. Line. After installing this extension on your computer, a search field in Yandex will appear on the bottom panel of the desktop. It will be present not only when the browser is running, but also when working offline.

Yandex. Line

<Рис. 3 Скачивание>

After you have installed the Yandex.Stroka program, you automatically have access to voice search using this extension. The search, as well as the string, will work both when the browser is open and when working with programs offline.

As mentioned above, you do not need Yandex Browser for the line to work properly. This module is not a browser extension and works completely isolated from it.

Advantages

Although this feature has few fans and is not very widespread yet, some users have already appreciated its convenience and functionality. What are the advantages of Yandex voice search?

From the above, we can conclude that this function is suitable for everyone who is used to using the function voice input search query, but prefers to use Yandex, not Google.

disadvantages

The most significant drawback of this service- its rather high dependence on the parameters of the microphone. If you pronounce your request too far from it or the sound transmission quality is low, then the system will not be able to correctly recognize your request (while this happens quite often).

In this case, it will replace it with the phrase that sounds closest to those that are often used from your computer. Or popular with users. After such an incorrect recognition, the only way to make a request is to register it manually from the keyboard.

Installation

The module discussed above is the Yandex extension. Line. After installing this extension on your computer, an input field will appear on the bottom panel of the desktop search query in Yandex... It will be present not only during browser operation, but also when working offline.

Such a string is convenient in itself for users who often use search queries. In addition, Yandex voice search is implemented only with its help.

Yandex. Line

How to install this extension. To do this, follow a simple algorithm:

You can download it from the official developer page, for this you need to follow the link;
Find the yellow Install button on the left side of the page and click on it;

Confirm the download (click the Save button in the pop-up window);

Wait for the download to finish and start the installation;
Complete the installation by following the instructions of the Installer line;
After the installation is complete, it should appear at the bottom of the screen, on the panel with shortcuts and program buttons;
If it doesn't, restart your computer.

After you have installed the Yandex.Stroka program, you automatically have access to voice search using this extension. Search, just like a string, will work like with open browser and when working with programs offline.

Usage

If you work with a personal PC, then for the module to work correctly, you need to connect an external microphone. Connect the device and go through its settings through the Device Manager. On laptops, sometimes you also need to make some settings for the microphone and allow it to access external applications.

How to use this application and the line as a whole? First of all, the string can be used as a standard search engine. That is, enter a search query into it from the keyboard.

After pressing the Enter button, the system will automatically open your default browser, and in it - the results of the search query in Yandex. Of course, for this it is necessary that the Internet is connected on the computer.

Voice search is multifunctional. It allows you to enter not only the usual search queries, but also search for applications, site addresses, etc. In order to set any query, proceed according to the algorithm:

Search algorithms through a string are no different from standard Yandex algorithms. In the same way, a list of results for a query is built. And all other search parameters are also completely characteristic of the Yandex.

A handy feature is its own automatically generated bookmark bar. It is formed from the most frequently visited sites. It can be seen by clicking on the search bar at the bottom of the window.

Also at the bottom of the window you can find your last search request through the Yandex.String system. It also contains his most popular interpretations received from other users.

In order to get acquainted with the main functionality of this application, you need to click on the microphone button and say "Listen, Yandex." After that, a window will open in which the main functionality of this application is listed.

After that, for example, it becomes clear that the string interacts not only with the Internet, but also with the computer. For example, you can restart your computer, open Word or another program using this application.

Settings

The application does not require complex or lengthy settings. To call me settings, place the cursor on the search bar and right-click on it. A small menu will open, the first item of which will be "Settings".

The application does not take up much memory and runs even on older computers.

The start page in the browser is the tab, page or site on the Internet that opens first when you open your browser each time you start it, or when you press the "Home" key.
Do you have a desire or need to work with the Yandex search engine? The start page, which can be installed by a user of absolutely any level, will always open first when the browser program is loaded.
To accomplish this, you can use one of the following methods. It is quite easy to install and fix Yandex as a homepage, and in this article we will take a closer look at the options on how to do this.
It all depends on which browser you use, because the applications and settings algorithms for each program are different. But I wonder why there is no start page at all in the Yandex Browser itself?
The most versatile and simple way: type “www.ya.ru” in the address bar of your browser and wait for the web resource to load. In the upper left corner you can see the inscription "Set as homepage".
Click on it and you're done. From this moment you start your work with the site "www.yandex.ru" or, more simply, with the Yandex search engine.

To fully cover the entire range of services provided by Yandex, you should register yourself for correspondence and for storing important information online.

If the start page doesn't want to change in any way? Have you tried all of the above methods but still loading Webalta, Pirrit Suggestor, Conduit Search or other suspicious sources?

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

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

Be sure to check your computer for viruses or other malicious programs 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, do not forget to check your browser shortcut. But nevertheless, if a problem occurs and Webalta opens when starting Chroma, Opera or Mozilla, then you should definitely review and check for errors in the properties of shortcuts for launch. This requires:

Column "Properties" in the shortcut of the Chrome browser

2 Next, go to the tab "Label" and looking for a stanza "An object" ... You need to make sure that there is no one or another 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 superfluous 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" .
