Hi Mike Mwanje, is there any particular reason why you feel like this when writing about Hashnode "you will need to put in extra SEO efforts in order to get your article noticed by Google or other major search engines."? This is not true... But I'd love to hear your points of view.

Thank you Eleftheria Batsou. The reason is say this is that if I republished a Hashnode article on both Dev.to and Medium and then searched for the exact title via a search engine, I notice that I usually see the republished articles first before the original Hashnode article. Could it be because I use a custom domain?

Hi Mike Mwanje, yeap that could be one of the reasons. Also, if your devTo and Medium accounts are older then most likely they index first...

Let me know if you need anything else!

Hi Eleftheria Batsou. That actually makes sense now. Let me make the correction.

Thanks again!
