Submit Site to Yandex

Submitting your Russian website to Yandex Russian search engine (Yandex.ru), the largest Russian language search engine, and submitting your English site to Yandex.com, Yandex’s English language search engine, is the first step for your site’s Yandex search engine optimization (SEO).

Submit Sites to Yandex

When submitting sites to Yandex:

    Add site to Yandex

If your site has:

  • Subdomains (e.g. www.example.com, subdomain1.example.com, subdomain2.example.com), add your main site and subdomains separately in Yandex’s Webmaster Tool.
  • Secured page in https://, you will have to explicitly specify.

Site Verification on Yandex Webmaster Tool

Yandex Webmaster Tool requires you to verify your site through one of the 3 methods:

  • Upload an empty file as specified in Yandex’s naming convention to your site’s root directory (e.g. http://www.gordonchoi.com/yandex_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.txt)
  • Add META tag (e.g. meta name='yandex-verification' content='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
  • Add DNS record in text format (e.g. yandex-verification: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)

Once your site is verified in Yandex’s Webmaster Tool, it will be included in the site submission queue.

Submit XML Sitemap to Yandex

Submitting your site’s XML Sitemap will help Yandex’s spider to discover all your web pages.
