The segment is formed by just a hundred advertisers, whose actions are very difficult to predict, in one month there may be a 10% increase, in the other - already a drop of the same 10%, said Yandex Finance Director Greg Abovski. A spokesman for Yandex, Asya Melkumova, links this sharp rise with the increasing interest of large advertisers in media formats.

This year, clients transferred their budgets to banner advertising from the first to the second quarter, leaving only the largest platforms in the portfolio, explains the director of one of the network advertising agencies. Another RBC source in the advertising market recalled that banner advertising on the Yandex home page and other sought-after positions is being sold by the IMHO VI agency. It is part of Video International (Vi), the largest television advertising seller in the country. "Yandex" works with many advertising agencies and does not disclose their contribution to the company's revenues, commented Melkumova. In the second quarter, Yandex began to receive additional budgets from advertisers who agreed on their television advertising deals with Vi, the RBC source said.

In the first quarter, Mail.Ru Group's total advertising revenues grew slower than the market. They increased by only 3.4% - almost to 3 billion rubles.
