Top 10 Russian Search Properties
Allen Stern - April 14th, 2008
comScore is out with another Top 10 list, this time it’s Russian search properties. Something interesting to note, AOL has a higher reach in Russia than Google does. Russian social networking is apparently taking off as well with both Odnoklassniki.Ru and Vkontakte.Ru in the top 10 most visited sites in Russia.
Here’s the chart of the Top 10 Russian Search Engines for February 2008. Google appears to be closing the gap slowly with Yandex.

This record is not so simple. In Russia, disagree with that data. And, in the first place, Yandex and Mail.Ru. They argue that the data are incorrect. No one can understand how English-speaking sites may be more audience than Russian-speaking sites? This is nonsense. The answer is simple. Comscore measure anglophone or foreign Runet users. And also, Comscore uses to measure “delayed toolbar”, and saw no change.
