Yandex.ru becomes top US website

The average American knows about Buzzfeed, Home Depot, and Vimeo; their sites are gaining about as much traffic in the US as Yandex.ru, which most Americans wouldn’t recognize.

According to the most recent results from SimilarWeb, two major Russian websites Yandex and Vkontakte ranked in the top 100 US websites for 2014.  Vkontakte, Russia’s leading social network fell in at 81 and Yandex.ru, Russia’s premiere search engine placed in the 91 slot.
