DESCRIPTION
There have been some major developments across the international ecommerce markets in the last few months. Russian search engine Yandex has begun devaluing paid links for commercial queries in Moscow while several German newspapers have had their PageRank hit in a Google penalty. Tax has been a vogue topic as well, with the Italian and Swedish markets both making major changes to their legislation which will have a big effect on online shopping. For all this and more see our slides.
