Don’t Do This Big Mistake While Importing Stories To Medium
Don’t do this mistake otherwise you will violate Medium Policies.
Once your story published on Medium, can you just copy-paste it on other platforms and get more people to read it.
Some writers spend countless hours writing, editing, publishing and marketing her content. But, the insecurity I have about Medium is that it can terminate my Medium partnership or my Medium account anytime. Quiet embarrassing.
The basic thing to understand here is that you have access to copy any content on the Internet and published it on any other blog or hosted platform but, the main problem is the Google search.
Can Your Republish your Medium story somewhere else?
The simple answer to this question is “Yes” you can republish your Medium story on your blog, as a Quora answer, or a Facebook post. The main problem is the Google search.
For example, you want to publish your blog story on Medium, to avoid violating Medium policy, you had to add “noncanonical tag” to your Medium story.
If you want to republish your Medium article somewhere else then you had to add “=noncanocial” tag to your story on that platform.
If you don’t add this tag into your copied article from Medium, Google might penalize your site for spamming, this really a bad thing for the search engine optimization of your blog in general.

The Function of Using “Rel=noncanoical” tag on your Blog Post or on Medium
Most of the search engine uses bots to identify content relevant to a category and then listed those categories based on the optimization of that article. When you copied content from a site then the search engine bot knows it.
How you can tell the search engine bot that I copied the content from somewhere else? You can’t use any human language because the search engine bot is not a human but a computer program so, you have to use a command that search engine bot understands.
A =concanoical tag tell the search engine to ignore this content because it is copied from somewhere else or the admin don’t want that the people discover it.
You can also do that on Medium by just clicking on a single option.
