Yandex bans Laertsky

Early in the week the Yandex search engine banned the indexing of the website of the famous Russian punk singer Alexander Laertsky (laertsky.com) with the wording "for search spam". The support service message states that the website "contains a large number of search queries with the sole aim of attracting traffic". It is assumed that the reason came to be the humorous section Time of the Month, where for 4 years now humorous queries are regularly published over which users find Laertsky over the Internet. A paradoxical situation is now faced as a result of the ban: when entering "Alexander Laertsky" in a Yandex search a whole host of commercial links appear to stores with Laertsky's recordings, but not the singer's official website. Fortunately, unlike the mercenary Yandex, Google and Rambler searches bring up his website first for this query.
