Shares of Yandex NV (NASDAQ:YNDX), declined -2.04% to $11.50, during its last trading session.
Yandex.Direct, Yandex’s pay-per-click advertising platform, is changing its auction system and introducing new ranking rules for paid search results. Starting tomorrow, instead of a generalized second-price auction (GSP), Yandex.Direct will be using a Vickery-Clarke-Groves (VGC) auction to serve ads in the premium positions on its search engine results page (SERP) and the SERPs of websites in the Yandex Advertising Network. Ads competing for the ad block on the SERPs will be selected based on their quality, in addition to advertisers’ bids. These changes are aimed at providing Yandex’s advertising clients with maximum traffic at an optimal price, while serving the ads that are most relevant to our users.
“Changes in Yandex.Direct respond to changes in the advertising market. Cost of traffic and return on investment have become more important than having ads in premium positions. The second-price auction doesn’t allow advertisers to fully benefit from running their ads in top positions. They tend to prefer paying less for lower positions at the expense of additional clicks. Now, we’re changing the rules so that attracting more traffic will become more efficient for our advertisers,” says Eugene Lomize, head of monetization at Yandex.
Yandex N.V. operates an Internet search engine in Russia and internationally. The company offers search, location-based, personalized, and mobile services that enable users to find information, and communicate and connect over the Internet from desktops and mobile devices; and localized homepages for specific geographic markets.
