I wonder about this. Let's say I create a really good blog about some niche subject, but I don't promote it in any way, so that no one links to it or even knows about it. In such case, if no page on the Internet links to it, will it even by indexed by the Google Search?

Probably not. To fix this problem, you create a sitemaps.xml on your server and then give Google/Yahoo/etc. the link to it.

I'm just using Medium. I think their recommendation engine must work pretty well.
