Nope. Professional courtesy is the link back and acknowledging the source. It is fair game to take my story and rewrite it up.

Glad they gave links to your original article.

Yes. This was our website traffic the day after the story went live and the day after. It is a nice bump.

There's also the marketing benefit as well of people learning about the brand for the first time. I've been really pushing hard on TikTok lately for that same reason.

What you hope for is people will read the work, respect it, want to learn more and then the daily traffic gets incrementally better. It is a long game.
