Publishing
Medium
Medium is a publishing platform, not a submission directory, but writing a launch story or case study there and linking back to your product puts you in front of a massive built-in readership
The short answer
Medium is a publishing platform, not a submission directory, but writing a launch story or case study there and linking back to your product puts you in front of a massive built-in readership. The link is nofollow, and Medium's algorithm favors accounts with a publishing history, so a single drive-by post rarely performs. Best for founders willing to actually write, not just drop a link.

Should you submit here?
Rule-derived from directory type, link type, listing cost and audience. A rule cannot replace judgement about your product's category fit - verify against the platform's own submission page before spending on a paid tier.
- Teams willing to write, not just link-drop
- Products chasing referral traffic over backlink equity
No hard "no" from the rules.
