Hello, I created article on Medium.com with low competition keywords. But my article is still not indexing in google, even if I write "article title - medium.com" or even if i send that link in google. It has been 2 days I posted this article. Do you know where can be problem? It's 2 min read article. Maybe too little? Thanks

did you check the article in incognito tab or after logout in your account because some topics are ban in Medium and their team delete that article immediately after publish. You will see the article in your account but in real that article is not available publicly.

I just tested it and It still appears.

Maybe I need to do some backlinks or some SEO? But without that my article should still be indexed on google, even on page 8, but still, don't?
 
Try to look if your account doesn't have a ghost ban. Copy your url and try to look on it from another browser ( you shouldn't be logged on your Medium account from that browser ).

I tried also and I can see my account and also articles from another browser and even IP.

Maybe I should have Medium membership? "Become a Medium member for $5/month or $50/year and get unlimited access to the smartest writers and biggest ideas you won’t find anywhere else."
 
Well, this is good for you.
Maybe you should wait another few days. Also, try to post more ( and interesting ) good content. I think the followers ( or readers )'s number is also counting there.
Be sure that your keyword is really a low competition keyword.

Cheers
 
Usually Medium index in minutes, but sometimes there is a delay.
Were you using handwritten content?

Is there difference in time delay ranking if I post 2 min read or 10 min read? Maybe in medium/high competition keyw, but in low none?
And no, it was not handwritten. Maybe that is the problem. :) I'm newbie at this so, sorry for that. I was just testing that.
 
I dont think read time matters, as I posted articles in the same length, and some are indexed in minute while others take hours or more.
But the first thing you need to check is the content quality, so try with handwritten content again.
Should work fine.
 
So you basically regard Medium as web2.0, maybe build some links to your profile homepage.
 
wait a few days, the contents that I post on the platform take about 4 to 5 days before being indexed. I also recommend you to ping the contents.
 
Build links to it, preferably blog comments
 
I had also noticed this recently. But to recent to form any real opinion.
 
Don't Worry It Will Index Soon.
Also Try To Share On Social Sites: twitter, facebook..
