      I have my regular site blog at www.Guideyourhealth.org and a blog on www.medium.com, should I try to get back links for my medium articles as well that are on topics not competing with my site?

        So you have a website www.guideyourhealth.org and also you have a blog on medium Medium. So the first question that comes to my mind is

        • Why do you want backlinks to your medium blog? I mean is this blog part of your funnel? or part of your content promotion strategy?

          To blog on topics outside of my niche in another niche market. I don't want them for my home site or links from my home site.

            If they're on-topic - yes, it can be a good thing as per of your content strategy.

              From what I understand, the main advantage of a Medium blog is that it's embedded within the Medium community and has (pretty much) instant access to a small pool of users / readers, so the audience is semi built-in to the platform

              I don't see how it could hurt to promote your medium blog, but if you can't think of a way to capitalise (commercially / financially) on a great Medium following, then maybe don't bother. What will you get out of it, in the end?

              If it's just for vanity and big reading numbers, forget it. If you can think of a way to commercially leverage your Medium blog's following, go for it

                The short answer to your query is no.

                An exception could be unless the medium articles are contextual and have links pointing to www.guideyourhealth.org. Then the backlinks could enhance www.guideyourhealth.org.

                That said should consider comments by effectdigital above.

                Hope that assists.
