Medium cross-post

Syndicate your best post with a canonical link

Republish your strongest blog post on Medium (and similar networks) with a rel=canonical link back to the original. You borrow the platform’s built-in distribution and a fresh audience without splitting SEO equity or risking duplicate-content penalties — the canonical tells search engines your own site is the source of record.

The play

Republish your strongest evergreen post on Medium (and similar networks) with rel=canonical pointing back to the original, borrowing the platform’s distribution without splitting SEO equity.

How to run it

  1. Publish the post on your own site first — that’s the canonical source.
  2. Import it to Medium with their import tool, which sets rel=canonical for you.
  3. Confirm the canonical points back to your URL.
  4. Repeat on other networks that honour canonical (Dev.to, Hashnode).

Watch out for

  • Always set rel=canonical to your original — never let the copy outrank the source.
  • Syndicate evergreen posts, not time-sensitive ones.
