Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to rank a Medium article and what was your experience? Would link building for a Medium page be effective or a waste of time?

The keywords will be low competition keywords.

It was very widely used and effective tactic.

Looks like search engines hammered on it not so long ago though.

I don't think it works that well anymore. Not to mention moderating got harder.

For what it's worth, it's a free link, so go for it. It can't really hurt your site

I see medium articles ranking for various keywords. I still wonder how much would good backlinks boost those articles in the search engines.

I also wonder if it would be easier to rank a blog post on your own website or a article on Medium

Me too but usually not for long.

I suggest you track them and see how they are doing in a month.
 
It can be done.

Sure, it’ll be more work than it was previously. It’ll be more frustrating than just buying a domain & being in total control. Definitely doable though.
 
Medium still works well as a parasite, presuming it's well written.

In terms of building links to it to boost its ranking, some sidebar Reddit links work well, as do GSA blasts.
 
Still works but lost it's glory as parasite ranking
For parasite I always use SAPE
If still need push I used PBN
 
Article from Web2.0 such blogspot, medium, you rarely see them anymore.

I doubt if it still working.
 
They still rank but Google pushed them to pages 3 and beyond after Nov spam update. You can use it if it's not necessary to rank within first page. It's better to grow a site if you have time and resources.

Medium might work as a tier 1 money site. Not a PBN.
