I am surprised to see that percentage of Yandex increased from 0.24% in 2007 to 18.06% in 2008. By looking at some log file records, I can see that Yandex in the browser signature represents indexing requests from the Russian search engine, www.yandex.com. If you look the Yandex indexing requests number and the Yandex referral requests number, you will see that Yandex is the worst search engine. It costed 18.06% of request traffic for indexing and delivered 0.00% referral requests. I need to find a way to reduce Yandex indexing requests.
