Yandex.Cities take into account the activity of bloggers

Yandex has updated Yandex.Cities , adding new members to the project. Exactly 50 cities of the country are now in the project rating, compiled based on the level of internetization of these cities. In the first three of the rating, which is updated every month, now - Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Samara.



Another innovation concerns the calculation of the index of internetization - it incorporates an account of the activity of local bloggers.



“The Internet in the regions of Russia and Ukraine is constantly growing, and the changes on the project clearly reflect this,” says Andrey Sebrant, director of special projects for Yandex. “Each new project participant is a city in which there are not only many active users, but also their own authoritative websites, local online media work there.”
