Yandex and Google good for 96% share in Russia

Thu 29 October 2009 17:03, Editors

Data from Comscore shows us that the Russian search market is dominated by Yandex and Google. Both giants account for 96% of all search traffic in Russia in August 2009.

Yandex takes the biggest share with 54,4% of all searches. To this number you can also add the 7,4% share Mail.ru takes because that is powered by Yandex. Google is the second largest search engine, still very much behind Yandex: 34,5%.

After Yandex and Google Rambler (1,9%) and Bing (0,4%) follow with very low margins. Rambler used to be one of the bigger search engines, but lost 8% market share in the last year, which indicates the shift to Yandex and Google.

According to Comscore in August there were 21,5 million search users in Russia. That is 63,4% of all the internet users.

I've been advertising with Yandex for a couple of months now and it's pretty tough. Most parts of the interface are in Russian, but we get cheap quality traffic for our russian gameportals.
