Hi, does anyone know what is the best solution for Russian search engines like www.rambler.ru and www.yandex.ru ,using latin or cyrillic letters in URL? For example www.website.com/services should I use www.website.com/uslugi (latin letters) or www.website.com/УÑлуги (cyrillic letters)?
Well....If you are using Russian search engine and want to get good rank in local then it is nice to develope link with Latin URL. It is friendly strategy People of Russia and Soviet.
You must use the Latin alphabet, the Cyrillic letter will not work. Rambler would soon cease to exist altogether.
In russian internet yandex is more popular than google. And it is easier to have top in yandex than in google. URL is better to have in Latin.
just try to search with english and it works great to see some of my keyword also listed at the page 1 on this two search engine
Also as an answer to first answer, prefer to use www. website.com/uslugi. Yandex understands both variants, as goole only one this.
i think it's not good idea work with Russian search engines, because in .ru big competition ! very big!
