Medium
Membership-based blogging platform — a common secondary distribution channel for tech content, with declining SEO authority.
Definition
Medium hosts long-form writing behind a partial paywall. Once a top SEO destination for tech writers, its ranking authority has declined as Google deprioritised content farms. Medium still drives meaningful in-platform discovery and remains worth republishing to for awareness; canonicalisation back to the original site is essential to avoid SEO self-injury.
