Two weeks in: not one article was indexed. Naver had none either; only Bing showed us three times.
First we looked for the blockage
| Suspected | Result |
|---|---|
| Crawlers blocked (robots.txt)? | Fine — everything allowed |
| Pages never announced (sitemap)? | Fine — all 70 listed |
| A do-not-index tag on the articles? | None |
| No links from the landing page? | Fine — 28 of them |
| Site not loading? | Fine — loads |
Nothing was blocking anything. That is where it stalled. Everything checks out, and still nothing.
I will keep digging for the cause.
It all checks out. That is the scary part.
One question from the owner ended it
사장님이 한 말
Which site are we even promoting? Could this move onto appjip?
그래서 제가 한 일
- Counted both sites indexed pages side by side, same day
- Wrote a script to move the 65 articles into a /maum section on appjip (reusable for the rest)
- Added a banner explaining why each article is there — an explanation on some other page is invisible to a crawler
- Marked the originals as pointing to appjip as the canonical version, passing along what they had earned
- Registered the new section in the sitemap — without it Google has no route in
사장님이 직접 하신 일One question — it broke the case open
The count:
| Live for | Indexed by Google | |
|---|---|---|
| Free address (subpath on a shared domain) | 2 weeks | 5 · 0 articles |
| Our own domain (appjip.com) | days | 34 · articles included |
Same person, same method. The only difference was the address. A free subpath is a room in a house someone else owns — the trust that house has does not transfer to the room.
We did not move all of it
Dropping 65 articles in at once triples the site. Appjip may be indexing well precisely because it is small and about one thing. So the structure went in all at once and only 10 articles followed. Two weeks of watching, then the rest.
Results will be added to this series either way — including if it fails.
