The main domain of the google.com search engine was registered on September 15. But in the company itself the birthday is celebrated on September 27 . It is noteworthy that Page and Brin originally named their search engine BackRub, because the system checked backlinks to assess the importance of the site.

Yandex decided not to stand aside and congratulated his overseas competitor on his birthday by repainting his own logo with branded google colors.
