Is this just not a problem in practice, or is there some technical barrier I'm not thinking of here? I'm imagining a system where you say "hey Google, I'm about to post content X" that you do right before it goes live on your site. No race condition.
- d2wa 8y agoOnly Yandex has something where you can inform them of upcoming articles/links before you publish. (As mentioned in the article.) https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/authored-texts/owners.html https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/authored-texts/owners.h... If you ping Bing or Google before you publish, they’ll get a 404 and will take that as a sign that there is no content there. They also will wait longer before trying to reindex a page that previously returned a 404.
- DenisM 8y agoMake a visible but unlisted URL, ping search engines, wait 5 minutes, list / link the URL from the home page of your site, publish the URL to RSS. Solves the 404 problem, doesn't it?
- d2wa 8y agoI experimented with this too. However, I found that just delaying the RSS feed produced the desired results.
- hyperpape 8y agoIt seems to me that Yandex is doing the right thing. Why does Google not do the same? It seems to me that it's their responsibility as a search engine to give authors tools to identify their work.
