However, after more than 24 hours, I noticed something interesting —
the article was not indexed by Google yet. It didn’t appear in search results at all.
This raised a simple question:
Does publishing on Medium automatically lead to indexing?
From this small observation, the answer seems to be no — at least not immediately.
Why I’m Running This Test
Search engines don’t always discover new pages on their own.
In many cases, a page needs some kind of signal:
A link from another website
A click from users
Some form of
external reference
Without these, the page may exist… but remain invisible.
So instead of waiting, I decided to take action.
The Experiment
This post is part of a small experiment.I am creating an external link from this blog (Blogger) to my Medium article
to see whether it helps search engines discover and index the page.
Here is the article:
👉 I Found a Traveler in the Rain and Took Him Home: Tsunoshima
What I Expect
If search engines pick up this link:
The Medium article may get indexed faster
It may start appearing in search results
Even a small amount of traffic could trigger further visibility
If nothing happens, that’s also useful data.
Final Thoughts
Publishing content is only one part of the process.
Visibility depends on connection —
how a piece of content is linked, discovered, and interacted with.
This is a small step, but an important one.
I’ll continue observing what happens next.
