So, you may have read my previous post about making money from Medium.

In this, I also mention that I rewrite posts from my websites, directing people to read the full article, with a clickable link.
And Jay's latest webinar also discusses this.
However, it is apparently against their rules!
I only noticed this when trying to find their guidelines on how to caption AI images.

Here is what Medium actually says:
Spam or Site Misuse
We do not allow spam or misuse of Medium. All spam or misuse will be immediately removed from Medium without notification. Examples of spam or misuse include:
Posting content primarily to drive traffic to, or increase the search rankings of, an external site, product, or service
Stories where the content is clipped with the purpose of linking to the rest of the article on a different website
I am not sure what to think about this.
I have never had any content removed, the posts have received engagement and yes, they have sent traffic.
Ordinarily, I would just continue, but as I have now joined the Medium Partner Program to monetize my account, I don't want to be suspended!
Decisions, decisions!
