Yandex search database update: how it works

Probably, it’s not necessary to say that the official website and the search service called Yandex know, if not all, then at least those users who regularly search for something on the Internet. But few of them guess what the updating of the Yandex search base is. Let's see what it is all about and why apply such updates in practice.

Why and who needs the Yandex search database update

Immediately I would like to warn all users: if you do not own the site or hosting, the information provided below will not be useful in practice. And that's why.

The point here is that updating the search, in the sense of its algorithms, affects only the functionality of the site itself. In other words, the creator himself should be interested in this, and only for the purpose that his page is included in the top five or ten search results requested by users of the system itself.

Simply put, updating the Yandex search base only helps your resource to appear on the first page as a result of the search. As statistics show, very few users go to the second or third page to read this or that article. Most often, they stop at the first and click on the most popular links at the top of the list.

Updating the Yandex search base: how often does this happen?

As for the updates themselves, in principle, it all depends on the developer, and it is simply impossible to predict the release of a new update. Of course, the system will inform the owner of the same hosting that at the moment there has been an update to the Yandex search base, but nothing more.

Alas, you can only guess about the rest. In this sense, many users who place their pages under the patronage of Yandex (even using electronic wallets) do not like this service. Here the unpredictability factor plays more likely, because updating the Yandex search base itself can play a trick on the hosting owner. Here the situation is such that after an update, any site paid for the search may disappear altogether from the proposed results. This is, sorry, the crooked hands of the developers themselves. However, not everything is so bad. Let's look at the issue of updating itself a little wider.

Main types of updates

For now, let’s leave aside the question of how often the Yandex search engine is updated, and let’s take a look at how it happens so that there is no, so to speak, omission in this problem.

As it turns out, among all the variety that is offered by the service, one can initially single out the most popular:

• text update (the number of updates includes new text documents on a given topic);
• updates taking into account links (when the site falls into the search result for a given address or criterion);
• ranking, which is negatively perceived by experts in the field of SEO, since a ban can be introduced for using the wrapping of so-called behavioral factors
• favicon is not discussed at all - it doesn’t shine when installing it;
• update traffic services using graphic materials;
• updating Russian-language queries;
• update of the base of thematic queries;
• Page Rank Index.

Is everything taken into account?

In connection with all of the above, we can conclude how the frequency of updates to the Yandex search engine affects everything else.

In this case, we mean the registration of pages that fall under any criterion. As it turns out, the most important problem of a search engine, for example, with text or link updating, is that it does not immediately accept an incoming request, as it would be expected, but forms it only for publication on the next update. And the update dates of the Yandex search base, as a rule, are unknown to anyone except their creators. So it turns out that no one sees new pages in the sense of links or text information published on them. But that is not all. The fact is that the frequency of updating the Yandex search base also raises legitimate doubts.

Similar Yandex and Google systems: what is the difference?

Let's try to compare two popular search engines, created, as they say, in the image and likeness. These are Yandex and Google. It is no secret that the first was developed on the basis of the second.

Here the most important difference and the main problem is the so-called ranking. If the Google service is capable of accepting a new link, text or graphic document almost instantly, Yandex needs a fairly long time period (usually thirty days, no less, and then before the next update comes out). So it turns out that the owner of the resource or hosting cannot rely on the factor that his page will be among the most popular requests tomorrow.

The concept of "storm"

Now let’s dwell on another concept called the “storm”. This term refers to the degree to which requests are issued directly during the update period.

It's believed that:

• 5-15% - weak site;
• 15-20% - average level;
• 20-40% - a reliable resource;
• over 40% - updating algorithms puts the resource at the peak of popularity.

In general, if it is “storming”, this means that the service itself is in the process of updating, with the registration of incoming requests and forwarding them to the level of a search engine. As already clear, this does not always work, or even does not work at all.

Update Dates

As for the update itself, when there will be the next update to the Yandex search base, no one knows, maybe even the developers themselves. Surprisingly, the frequency of updates does not fit into any framework.

This is the only reason why owners of sites and hosting should switch to other registration resources, otherwise you can slide from the leader in the search to the lowest position. How often is the Yandex search database updated? Perhaps it’s better to ask the owners or developers of the service themselves.

And all this is only due to the fact that the update does not work correctly or is absent at all. But the problems can be in the settings themselves, which for obvious reasons are not considered now.

Conclusion

As for the result, here you can simply shrug: as you can see, the service, although it is one of the most popular, is, alas, alas, insolvent in terms of installing updates to its own database. So the fact that a user who decides to find some information on the Internet or promote his own website will receive the latest information, and there’s no need to talk. Here the update of the Yandex search base also plays a role. How often this happens or should happen is not known, because it all depends on the developer.

On the other hand, in fact, the search service itself, based on Google technologies, does not withstand any criticism compared to the original. Another thing is that both services are rather insidious in terms of monitoring the Internet surfer. Have you ever seen when your last request is displayed in the browser as an advertising link? What can I say, even with the “account” of both services, these same banners can also appear on a mobile phone or tablet. But this is great distraction, if not worse ...

Finally, the resource owners themselves in this case are exposed to unreasonable risk. It's no secret that you have to pay for everything. To make your page popular on the web, too. A lot of money. What is the surprise when, driving in a search term, then you don’t even find your own resource? This is where the time comes to think about how expedient it was to use Yandex as the main hosting. However, this situation does not always occur: for someone, everything works, for someone - not. The thing, as they say, is everyday.

But in any case (by the way, many users of the service say this), if the company does not change the policy regarding updates, it is hardly worth counting on attracting new customers. Here you wouldn’t lose the old ones ...
