javascript - Angularjs vs SEO vs pushState

Question

After reading this thread I decided to use pushstate api in my angularjs application which is fully API-based (independent frontend and independent backend).

Here is my test site: http://huyaks.com/index.html

I created a sitemap and uploaded to google webmaster tools.

From what I can see:

google indexed the main page, indexed the dynamic navigation (cool!) but did not index any of dynamic urls. Please take a look.

I examined the example site given in the related thread:

http://html5.gingerhost.com/london

As far as I can see, when I directly access a particular page the content which is presumed to be dynamic is returned by the server therefore it's indexed. But it's impossible in my case since my application is fully dynamic.

Could you, please, advise, what's the problem in my particular case and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Note: this question is about pushState way. Please do not advise me to use escaped fragment or 3-d party services like prerender.io. I'd like to figure out how to use this approach.

Evidently Quentin didn't read the post you're referring to. The whole point of http://html5.gingerhost.com/london is that it uses pushState and proves that it doesn't require static html for the benefit of spiders.

"This site uses HTML5 wizrdry [sic] to load the 'actual content' asynchronusly [sic] to the rest of the code: this makes it faster for users, but it's still totally indexable by search engines."

Dodgy orthography aside, this demo shows that asynchronously-loaded content is indexable.
