Launched a domestic search engine
Sputnik .

It is obvious that the new search engine will voluntarily-compulsorily be the main search engine for state-owned companies, ministries and educational institutions. This clearly allows him to immediately take a certain market share.

At the moment, the dominant ranking factor in Sputnik are links, which is quite obvious, since it could not have other powerful signals for ranking.
Also in the Satellite there is no contextual advertising, and this generally increases the proportion of SEO traffic.
Thus, the launch of a new search engine can support the development of the SEO market and the market of links in particular.
As for my opinion, I very much doubt that he will really be a serious competitor to our usual search engines.
Even if a person at work will be required to search on a satellite during the day, then in the evening he will most likely return to his usual Yandex and Google.
Satellite - "Sputink".

I got the impression that Yandex was released 7 years ago.
The platform for SEO experiments is declared open.
