In a move that strengthens its position in the Russian-speaking Internet market, Yandex has acquired Web analytics startup WebVisor at a cost of ca. $0.5 million. Yandex made the deal with the startup's owner, Visor Ltd., after WebVisor attended the Yandex.Start program. The program was initiated by Yandex last year as a means of giving promising technology startups the opportunity to join them.
