Make 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?

I experimented with this too. However, I found that just delaying the RSS feed produced the desired results.

It 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.
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.
