With blogs in Lately something bad is happening. The repressive law aimed at top bloggers has not yet come into force (although August 1 is just around the corner), and Internet giants are already forced to take measures to protect themselves. Thus, LJ began to hide the number of readers of top bloggers if there are more than 2500 of them. And Yandex first removed its own ranking of bloggers, and now with Main search engine The top blog topic of the day also disappeared. Being a blogger these days is dangerous. The authorities are suspicious of bloggers, especially those who have many readers and write on sensitive topics. Censorship in Russia covers an ever-increasing area.

Yesterday it became known that messages criticizing Putin began to be deleted on the Odnoklassniki social network. Internet users began to joke about this: Are there those in Odnoklassniki who criticize Putin? These are probably bots and they were banned for this very reason! A day earlier, Yandex removed the top blog topics from the Home page. Here is what Roem.ru writes about this: “External observers sometimes consider the picture of Yandex events to be distorted. Formally, there are half as many reasons for irritation. The “blogs” themselves have long caused unrest. Yandex has sequestered their functionality several times. Closing one of varieties of top many years ago aroused considerable media interest. However, the relative popularity of blogging among the general public was, as is now clear, low. Social networks, which became fashionable later than blogs, gathered in order larger number users than blogging platforms. Current tools for tracking hot topics are now based on social networks. The content of friend feeds depends on the number of clicks on “like” and reposts. Hash tags are collected into “trends”. Ratings like mediametrics.ru by German Klimenko are tied to the number of transitions from social networks. Yandex, on the other hand, is consistently cleaning itself from artifacts of the blog era (for example, on April 18, 2014, blog search rankings closed) and is in no hurry to introduce something based on social networks."

It seems to me that this purge is caused not only by the regime’s fight against bloggers and the free Internet, but also directly on Yandex, which decided, just in case, to once again protect itself.

In modern times, having anything to do with blogging means increasing the business risks of companies. Possibility of being tortured various checks and lawsuits increases sharply if you are dealing with social networks and blogs, but are not 146% controlled by the authorities. Hysteria about the legions of foreign agents online, fooling and corrupting the pure and spiritual population of Russia, cries about total control USA behind the Internet and the dangers social networks How powerful tool to carry out revolutions and riots, - will only increase. Requirements for Internet users will also become stricter in the future.

Last week the State Duma passed a law on prison sentences for likes and reposts on the Internet. And the FSB has already draft by-laws, from which it follows that law enforcement agencies we need almost all information about the user’s actions on the network: user ID (login), all addresses Email(both the main one and used for forwarding), a list of all contacts, contact categories (friends, subscribers), the number and volume of messages received and sent by the user, all changes in the account and attempts to delete it. The intelligence services, according to the FSB, should also receive data about when and which pages of social networks, Internet forums, and blog hosting sites are visited by users, the devices from which they access the Internet, the programs and DNS servers used. The intelligence services also intend to gain access to data on paid services that users purchase from online companies, including the amount and name payment system. An Internet company can only avoid the need to store data when providing intelligence services full access to your service on an ongoing basis.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Communications handed over to the government a tougher version of the anti-piracy law - with responsibility for hyperlinks. The publication of hyperlinks to controversial content will also be prohibited: for publishing two or more links, the operation of the site in Russia may be blocked. At the same time, failure to comply with the requirement to block a site with pirated content or links to it will result in a fine of up to a million rubles.

All this will undoubtedly deal a strong blow to SMM sphere. Only those businesses will be successful that will serve the interests of the authorities or will not in any way concern political and social issues. significant topics. It is possible that the top LiveJournal in its current form will not last long.

We are getting used to living under a hood! We are afraid to say something unnecessary! We tremble at possible accusations of extremism!

Pages disappear from the Yandex index. What happened and how to deal with it

Recently, cases have become more frequent when Yandex excludes from the index individual pages, and sometimes entire sites. I have seen discussions of this behavior of Yandex on many forums and clubs, but a couple of weeks ago I felt the beauty of such an event on one of my blogs.

When I checked the visit statistics, I was struck by the fact that search traffic from Yandex, which was usually slightly less than from Google, fell sharply! I looked into Yandex.Webmaster and found the answer: more than 80% of my blog pages have disappeared from the index...

My first thought was that the site had come under some kind of filter, but why? I did not sell or buy links for this site, all articles were written by me personally and cannot be a copy. The site is updated stably and quite often, and there are also active discussions in the comments. In a word, it is clear that nothing is clear...

It became even more fun yesterday when I discovered that my blog had completely disappeared from the Yandex index, along with several other of my sites! Moreover, all sites have completely different topics and different structures and run on different engines. Today, however, all sites have again appeared in the Yandex index, but the number of indexed pages for each of them has noticeably decreased.

So far I can’t find any reasonable explanation for this behavior of Yandex, other than its internal technical problems, but nevertheless I will try to conduct an experiment on returning pages to the index. For this purpose, we will take the following few steps.

1. Create an archives page and sitemap.xml file

Because my blog is about we're talking about works on WordPress, I installed the SiteTree plugin. In my experience, this is the most good plugin to create both an archives page and a sitemap for search engines, sitemap.xml. The plugin supports Russian language and is very flexible in settings.

So let's create new page content or archives and simply select it in the plugin settings - that’s it, the plugin automatically generates an updated content page, in accordance with our settings.
Also in the settings, we simply activate the sitemap.xml function and the plugin itself does the rest of the work, and also notifies search engines about any updates on the site.

2. Notifying Yandex about the presence of the sitemap.xml file

To do this, first of all, you need to add the address of the sitemap.xml file in the Yandex.Webmaster tools, and also specify the full URL in the file for the robots.txt spider. In the same file you need to check that everything required pages were opened for indexing.

If the site uses too many types of sorting articles, say: by categories, by tags, by authors, by months, then it is advisable to select a couple of the most full parameters, such as categories and dates, and close the rest to robots to avoid duplicate content.

3. Updating old articles and adding blog content

Since every time an article is updated, WordPress sends a notification (ping) to search engines, it makes sense to update the most important articles on the blog. It is almost impossible to change all the articles, especially if it is a fairly old blog, but you can always choose those that were popular or, on the contrary, poorly visited, based on statistics.

The idea of ​​what to add or change in the article can be easily found from the analysis search queries, by which visitors came to the site, as well as from reader comments on the article. This way we will not only update and add content to the articles, but also make it more valuable for new visitors.

It is also advisable before next step add a few latest entries, which the search bot has not yet seen, and continue to regularly update the blog with new articles. Perhaps the most important thing for a blog is that updates be regular, albeit not very frequent.

4. Link run through your favorite Yandex services
