Yandex, the large Russian search engine, announced (in Russian) that they are now crawling, as a test, through CSS and JavaScript files. The purpose is for Yandex to better understand web pages and the content on those web pages that are designed for more modern browser. They are starting on a small subset of known pages, to test this crawl process but plans to expand it shortly later to a larger set of the index.
Because of this effort, Yandex is informing webmasters to make sure their CSS and JavaScript files are not blocking the Yandex crawler. Just like Google and Bing have recommended you do not block their bots from crawling your CSS and JavaScript files and resources.
The Russian Search blog summarized this also in English, since they speak fluent Russian and I do not. They added, “this change in Yandex’s indexing routines can possibly have effects on Yandex SEO, at least in the long run.”
