Russians are notoriously secretive when it comes to business matters, I find it odd that they would be so open in this regard. I first found this out last year actually, when carrying out some research for a client. They were in the process of buying a website but wanted some clarification on the traffic numbers the owner quoted to them. The owner had removed the visible Rambler Top 100 icon but left his ID in there. You can also access the company statistics through the Rambler directory. This kind of information from Rambler definitely gave them a unique edge in the negotiations. It is surprising to me that companies don't see this as something best kept private.
