Registering on the Yandex.ru website is not difficult, however, not all visitors to our site can register on their own. This lesson is intended for them.
Yandex is not only mail! These are many useful services that you will have access to after registering on the site.
How to register in Yandex mail
So, let's start registering. To do this, go to the main page of the Yandex search engine https://www.yandex.ru
On the page that opens, in the upper right corner we see the mail login window. However, we do not yet have a username or password to log in. So, to get started, press the button Create an email
A small questionnaire will appear (not like when registering on social networks!)
Enter your first and last name.
Then, you need to come up with a login. The login will be part of the name of your mailbox, like, [email protected], so it should not be difficult to remember. By the way, prompts will appear for logins that are not yet occupied. They are basically derived from your first and last name in English. Choose the option you like and move on.
Now you need to come up with a password. For reliability, the password must consist of at least 7 characters: large and small English letters, numbers. When entering a password, the characters will be replaced with asterisks. However, if you click on the “eye” icon on the right side of the password field, then the password becomes visible. This will make it easier to avoid mistakes. In the field below, enter your password again. A green message “entered correctly” should appear. Before we forget, write down your username and password in a notebook .
Now enter your mobile phone number and click the Get code button. Enter the code received via SMS in the appropriate field. After that, make sure that there is a checkmark in front of the phrase “By clicking the Register button, I accept the terms of the User Agreement...” and click the Register button.
By the way, if you don’t have a phone at the moment, you can still register. To do this, click the “I don’t have a phone” link. Additional fields will appear.
You will need to select Security Question from the drop-down list, and below, enter the answer to the security question. After that, to prove that you are not a robot, you need to enter not very legible symbols in the field to the right of the symbols.. After that, put a check mark in front of the phrase “By clicking the Register button, I accept the terms of the User Agreement...” and press the button Register Your new mailbox will immediately open in front of you.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to talk about the most successful Internet company on the RuNet.
If you think about it, more than half of the users come to my blog from this, and the lion’s share of mine comes from income from displaying YAN advertising units (through Profit Partner).
For webmasters, probably, first of all, Yandex is a search engine that occupies a leading position in the RuNet (it recently even absorbed ). Moreover, modern realities are such that it would be extremely unwise to not take into account the features of this search engine when optimizing a site, since it is it that aggregates the lion’s share of commercial queries. If you don’t receive targeted visitors from it, it’s not a fact that you will be able to get them from . they simply may not be there.
Yandex main page, themes and settings
But at the same time, Yandex has long 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 multiportal. 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 majority of the audience in our network segment votes for the domestic manufacturer.
Let's start looking at the portal from its main page. Many specialists worked on its creation and layout, and on the initial page you will find almost everything you might need at first. Only later, having become a little more comfortable and having decided which services you will need in the first place, you will be able to completely rebuild it to suit your taste and needs.
We'll talk about registration, receiving a mailbox, and more below in the text. Now let us note that much of what most users may need can already be found on the main page. I have highlighted in orange the services that I personally use from time to time.
Also on the main page, when you scroll, 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 things to you in this feed. Judge for yourself how well he succeeds:
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 options:
Let's go to the first tab Set up Yandex. Here we will be given the opportunity to delete, configure, drag and drop existing widgets on the main page, and if desired, add new ones:
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 it will only be linked to the browser from which you made these settings (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 look at them in more detail (it is clear that it would be better to save them specifically for your account):
Registration and receipt of Yandex Passport
You have two options to work with this portal. You can register with Yandex and receive a free mailbox with good spam cutting 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) would be preferable, because in this way you can use the system’s potential to the maximum.
It is clear that this is not accurate statistics, because in addition to the Ru domain zone, there are other domain zones, and 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-language segment of the Internet.
He bit off more than half of the bagel, which is quite a lot, considering the multimillion-dollar RuNet audience. It is clear that Yandex’s share in global search is small (from one to two percent) and Google already categorically reigns there. And in RuNet, if we consider the audience of users entering information queries (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, of course, is not a representative sample at all, but rather my own IMHO. By the way, if you analyze the positions of my site for various popular search queries (for example, you can look at its visibility in), you will notice that these two giants often have completely different assessments of the same web pages.
Over the next few years (until 1996), active work was carried out to improve search algorithms and take into account the morphology of the language. During this time, several software products were released (Academic edition of the classics on CD ROM, Bible computer reference book), where all these developments were used, but, as you yourself understand, all this did not make it possible to realize the full potential of search algorithms and did not allow us to seriously earn money. There was practically no Internet in RuNet at that time.
By the way, it was during this period that the name for the developed search technology was invented, namely Yandex, which means “Language Index”. Although there are still many interpretations of the origin of the brand, this does not change the essence. The development team had 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 department of the Arcadia company, offered its first products for site search (Yandex.Site) and search by CD content (Ya.CD). Well, as well as a separate product that implements Ya.Lib search technology. In the same year, the company went online and, using the Ya.Dict product, made it possible to make queries in Russian to the AltaVista search engine, which was popular in the bourgeoisie at that time ( Google didn't exist yet).
But all this was not what would allow the company to really develop in all its glory. It lacked its own index of all RuNet sites. Well, the employees of the company (at that time a department of the Arcadia company) strained themselves and created a search robot, which quickly crawled all the five thousand sites available in the RuNet (at that time) and collected an index text file weighing only four gigabytes.
All. In 1997, at the Softool exhibition, it was announced new website yandex.ru(a project codenamed Yandex-Web), which was launched on September 23.
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 necessary 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 to communicate with visitors and solve their problems, which existed until 2008.
Yandex was already at that time successfully combating duplicate content in different or slightly different content, and identical documents were removed from the search results. In addition, they were used to allow links to the most relevant (meeting the user's request) documents to be placed at the top of the search results.
It turns out that the development of the Internet in RuNet coincided very well with the fact that the Yandex company had previously been working seriously and for quite a long time on the problems of searching in Russian using huge text arrays.
This probably played a decisive role in the further dizzying rise - after all, all he had to do was transfer his developments to the web and pay attention to the development of related services and thinking through ways to extract income from all this. The main thing was be at the right time and in the right place. Segalovich and Volazh succeeded, for which I congratulate them - well done.
But, as it were, the story does not end there, but, on the contrary, is just beginning. Next year, 1998, work is underway to improve the search engine, new functionality appears for users (search in what was found, find similar documents, etc.), and the design of the main page also undergoes a slight change (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 by leaps and bounds in the Russian-speaking segment of the network, and in connection with this, the number of documents indexed by Yandex significantly increased, which it succeeded by launching a new robot that scans Runet sites. In the same year, a new project was launched, which lasted until 2012.
What’s interesting is that starting this year, Yandex seriously took up spam filtering, began to take into account the contents of Alt tags for images, and in addition to the text of the document itself, when ranking, it began to consider those leading to it from other sites on the network (the birth 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 occurred that predetermined the further success of Yandex.ru. If you look at the previous three screenshots of its homepage design, you'll notice the CompTek logo. This is quite logical, because 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 no longer called “Arcadia”, but Yandex.
By the way, at this time they had not yet worked out a scheme for generating income and they were forced to attract an investor. The ru-Net Holdings corporation invested about five million dollars in the search engine, for which it received a third of the assets of the Yandex company. In general, it turned out to be a very profitable deal, because now the number one search engine in RuNet is already worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In the same year, the famous one appeared, and was also introduced, with the help of which the ranking of sites in this directory was carried out (see the money we are already familiar with in the given screenshot).
Moreover, Tietz was assigned to all indexed resources (regardless of their location or not in the directory) 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, and Page rank has only eleven gradations from 0 to 10 and is a logarithmic value.
In addition, in 2000, Yandex was already being formed as a multiportal, because it was at this time that services such as Mail, News, Bookmarks, Postcards appeared, well, and a bare search bar at the address ya.ru(Google’s home page looks the same - complete asceticism). A number of services have also appeared that will later become the Market. Well, even before the heap, in 2000, it first saw the light of day, which users could install as an add-on for their browser (now it has been renamed Elements).
The main achievement of the company in 2001 can be considered that it became the most visited site in the RuNet, the index base grew to the size of one terabyte, and an image search service appeared.
Well, it was published around the same time. Traditionally, the design of the main page has also changed:
In 2002, on the basis of three separate services, a now familiar and convenient tool for searching and selecting the right product was formed -. There was also a significant event in the history of the company - it completely switched to self-sufficiency due to the opening of the service.
The design of the main page has become even closer to the modern version:
2003 was the first year of self-sufficiency, and this search system, in addition to ordinary Html pages, learned to index documents in RTF, PDF, and DOC formats, and a year later it was the turn of Flash sites. A serious spam tool called “Self-Defense” appeared in Y.Mail, and Direct began working on the pay-per-click principle this year.
In 2004, the company's profit already amounted to about ten million dollars, search services appeared on the map, as well as on blogs and forums. Around the same year, on the RuNet search market a powerful competitor has appeared in Google, in connection with which Yandex expanded its staff approximately tenfold to adequately respond.
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 right up to 2007 without changes:
In 2005, Yandex decided to think about expansion and a representative office of this company appeared in Nezalezhnaya. And at the end of the same year, a very remarkable event took place for many webmasters - it opened. Don't know what it is?
Now all website owners have the opportunity to place contextual advertising on the pages of their sites and receive fifty percent of the price of each click. For this I want to express special respect, well, even more respect to my tsop (partner service center) Profit Partner, because they actually feed me. Also this year, the Ya.Dictionaries 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, a now quite popular analytics tool appeared, which was initially focused primarily on the needs of advertisers in Direct.
Well, the Ukrainian search engine Yandex.ua opened, which now aggregates about a quarter of the search in Nezalezhnaya, and the first version also appeared. Plus we made a new design for the main page:
In 2008, the company opened an office in the states and at the same time support for international standards, MediaRSS, etc. was added to the engine algorithms. This allowed the company to successfully index burzhunet sites that had long supported these standards. Well, from that moment on the Yandex logo began to be written entirely in Russian:
And the design of the main page has undergone its latest 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 was divided only by country, and not by city. In 2010, search engine users appeared and were given the opportunity to search only by burzhenet, both through Yandex.ru and through.com.
Around the same time, Ukrainian regional search appeared, and self-learning began to be used to calculate the relevance formula Matrixnet algorithm and Spectrum technology comes into effect.
Matrixnet uses assessments of assessors (determining the quality of individual sites on the network) as reference points, and Range allows you to take into account in the search results all possible meanings included by the user in the query (for example, for the query “Napoleon” it is quite difficult to decide what the user wants to know about - about a cake or about an outstanding figure in history).
Well, in 2011, the leader of Runet search placed its shares on the NASDAQ exchange. I don’t understand the intricacies of this matter, but Yandex gained a huge amount from this (more than a billion in greenbacks), which is slightly less than the amount that Google received in a similar placement in 2004.
That's it, but the story 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 quite democratic:
Features of promotion under Yandex (differences from Google.ru)
Now let's return to the problems of webmasters and optimizers - how to promote your website under Yandex? It's not as simple as it might seem at first glance. In fact, for myself, I do not divide promotion for different search engines into separate components (), but there are nuances and differences and many people focus on them:
- As a rule, when promoting a competitive search query, you should have several pages on the site 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 answering this user request.
- Recently, Yandex has been advocating that article texts should not be over-optimized and threatens to punish people for this. It seems to me that re-optimization alone will not be enough to impose a veto - it is necessary that the behavior of users indicates that this text is spam.
- When ranking, it also takes into account the age of the site (not the domain) and its trustworthiness. Google also takes this into account, but to a slightly lesser extent.
- External links influence website promotion in Yandex to a slightly lesser extent than when promoting in Google.
- “Runet Mirror” loves a variety of both link sources 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 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 the entire resource as a whole.
- Well, both search engines now actively take into account when determining the relevance of pages, because they allow you to attract a huge number of users to assess the quality of the site (for free).
When promoting under Yandex (and under Google.ru, but to a lesser extent), you should take into account that now such a thing as keyword density () no longer works. Search has an excellent understanding of the peculiarities of the Russian language and is able to make an assessment of the topic of an article according to the vector that it contains.
Those. must be in the article, but in a very limited quantity, and all those words and phrases that, in the opinion of the search engine, should be present in such texts (vector) must also be present.
Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

A fairly common and annoying about:blank virus haunts many PC users. Detecting that your computer is infected is quite simple - to do this, just log into your Internet browser and see that the start page you now have there is a “blank form”. The virus brings a lot of inconvenience with its presence.
Why is about:blank dangerous?
You might think that a virus can’t do anything supernatural - it just sits in the browser and stays there. It would seem that the start page is now simply an “empty form”, but in reality everything is somewhat different.
About:blank is also a so-called browser hijacker. It can cause great harm to your computer because it affects the security system. Thus, the Windows recovery system may fail to function. In addition, about:blank is also a Trojan. Is it worth mentioning what such viruses do to a computer and data? It’s easy to catch them, but it’s very, very difficult to rid yourself of the attacks and consequences.
The infection occurs in a simple way - about:blank copies its files to the hard drive of the infected computer, after which it registers the autoload of this virus in the registry. You can distinguish it by the file called svhost.exe executed in startup. With all this, as already mentioned, when the browser starts, about:blank appears. Since the virus is registered in autorun, changing the address of the start page will not help. That's why it's important to know how to get rid of about:blank.
Removal methods
Where is the “blank form” written? It affects about:blank, Yandex, Google, Amigo and other browsers. You can remove it in several ways. How effective they will be depends only on how well you understand computers and programs.
First, let's look at the most common method - removal using specialized utilities. They will most likely be able to both remove about:blank and clean the system of other “pesky” programs.
Now we will look at several useful utilities that are quite easy to use.
SpyHunter4
This is the development of the American company EnigmaSoftware. It can solve the problem and get rid of the about:blank virus. You will learn how to remove the pest automatically if you use this utility. It works on all Windows systems. The kit includes anti-virus protection. In addition, SpyHunter4 protects files and settings from malicious codes, fixes various browser problems, removes malicious registry entries and all files created by about:blank. The program is easy to use. You just need to launch it, then press the “Scan” button and wait for the scanning to finish. After this, information about the malicious files found and the operations performed with them will be released.
Security Stronghold
This is a convenient utility, using which you will no longer nervously ask your friends: “about:blank has appeared, how can I remove it?” It should be used when you are not entirely sure whether to delete certain infected files. Conventional software is not able to detect all Trojans and other harmful files that infect your computer. Security Stronghold will solve this problem. Like SpyHunter4, the program searches for and removes all registry files and regular files created by about:blank, but gives you the choice of what to touch and what not. This is a fairly fast and lightweight utility. Similar to many programs, you just need to start scanning, and then choose which files to do with and what to do. After this, the computer will be cleared of annoying Trojans.
Manual removal
If your computer is attacked by about:blank, how can you remove it manually? This is a completely appropriate question for those who do not trust various programs. Of course, if you have somehow already caught a virus while downloading software, then it is logical that you do not want to step on the same rake again and ultimately ruin the life of your computer. How to get rid of about:blank yourself and manually without using software? This is quite simple to do, but there are several options. Now we will look at the most common, albeit longer method.
Method 1: Processes and Settings
This method of removing about:blank is quite convenient and simple, but requires vigilance. This is due to the fact that you will have to terminate many system processes. Any error can lead to data loss and ineffective “treatment”.
1. Terminate processes and close the files agent-ac.dll, svhost.exe, phafxfa.exe, xea2108l.9zt, message.
Note: You can find the dll files in the folder: C/Windows/system32.
2. Reset the browser settings in which about:blank appeared (Yandex, Google Chrome, Mozilla or any other). Different browsers have different algorithms. Do not try to reinstall them - this still will not get rid of the problem.
Internet Explorer
Go to the command search (in Windows XP the path is “Start” / “Open”, in Windows 7 and others - “Start” / “Search”) and find inetcpl.cpl. After that, select the “Advanced” tab, find the line “Reset browser settings” and double-click on it. Next, delete your personal history settings and wait for the process to complete.
Google Chrome
Go to: C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\UserData (browser installation folder). Find the Default file there and rename it DefaultBackup. Launch Google Chrome - the settings will be reset.
Mozilla Firefox
In the Help section of the menu, select Troubleshooting information, and then Reset Firefox. Wait for the process to complete and click Finish.
Method 2: System Restore
Sometimes clearing the browser doesn't help. Then you need This can also help when about:blank occurs. Now we will see how to perform a system rollback.
1. Open the Start menu.
2. Find “Utilities” there.
3. Select System Restore. It is important that the computer creates restore points during operation, which will help roll back the system to the moment when the PC was working properly. When choosing a date, you need to select the one that was before about:blank was infected. Click "Next" and follow the instructions.
4. Wait for it to complete. The computer will restart. After recovery, the virus should not appear.
Finally
Now you know what about:blank is. We also told you how to remove it. The main thing is to worry about some points in advance:
Create Windows restore points periodically;
Save all important files and data;
Check your computer for viruses from time to time;
Store data in the cloud with passwords;
Do not download suspicious software onto your computer.
By following the easy step-by-step instructions and using our tips, you can ensure a long and high-quality life for your computer, your files will remain safe and sound, and the new about:blank tab will no longer loom before your eyes.
If none of the described methods help (which happens in extremely advanced cases), you must resort to a last resort: reinstalling the system. You can do this yourself or take your computer to a specialist. Remember that the safety of your PC and the safety of files on your hard drive are only in your hands. Solve problems that arise in a timely manner so as not to see disastrous results.
