FAQ
Is Medium free for product launches? Yes — standard publishing is free (Freemium). Medium Membership and Partner Program features are optional paid tiers.
Does Medium send referral traffic? Yes when posts gain traction — Very High aggregate traffic on DR 94, but individual launch essays need promotion and publication placement to earn clicks.
Is Medium a directory submission? No — Medium is a publishing platform. You “submit” by writing and publishing a launch essay with links to your product, not a one-field directory form.
Does Medium give dofollow backlinks? Article links are crawlable but we rate backlink quality Weak. Value is founder brand reach and referral clicks more than DR transfer.
