Please share CloudFlare experience
-
I'm a little nervous about moving to CloudFlare. I'd love to hear everyone's experience with CloudFlare or other CDNs.
PS My site is static and non SSL.
-
I'm going to add it to a really BIG site we are working on. I will keep you all posted.
-
Thanks. I am looking into putting Piwik on my server to have another source so I can compare with GA.
-
I don't think I answered your analytics question very well. Cloudflare is really not giving any useful stats. Just a graph of hits, crawlers, threats, and unique visitors. I still use ga for keyword and content data.
-
Very pleased so far, though I have no experience with any other CDN. GA reporting was not altered at all. It is interesting to see that cloudflare is reporting nearly twice as many visitors as GA. I guess there's a lot of folks blocking java script. It has cut requests and bandwidth to my server in half and blocked quite a few spammers and botnet zombies. I would certainly recommend.
-
How are you getting on? Still happy? What are the analytics like? Giving you anything you can't get from Google Analytics?
-
Page sppeed will only have a afect on rankings if your page is really slow. Matt cutts said it affects less than 1% iof pages
so going from a average speed to a fast speed will have no affect.

Update.
We installed cloudflare 10 days ago. Doesn't seem to be affecting our rankings. Seomoz's thursday update showsa slight improvment in most of my keywords this week. Probably unrelated. Our site is monstrously faster. Cloudflare also claims to have blocked 4% of my traffic as a known threat (likely spammers). From my short experience and the recommendation of my developer, I would have to give it a thumbs up.
-
I've also been looking into Cloudflare for a security plan. Also interested to here peoples experiences and if there is any SEO issues with using it.
-
I use Azure, Microsoft's cloud.
Its quite simple to use and quite cheap with a 3 month free trial. If you are a Microsoft Partner you get a lot for free and cheaper rates on the rest

Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or postively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please?
Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or positively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please? For example at the bottom of this blog post https://www.poppyandperle.com/post/face-painting-a-global-language the hashtags are linked, but they don't go to a page, they go to search results of all other blogs using that hashtag. Seems a bit of a strange approach to me.

Please Help! Crawl & Site Errors - Will This Impact My SEO?
Hello Moz, I need urgent help. I remove a tonne of product pages and put everything into one product page to deal with duplicate content. I thought this was a good thing to do until I got an email from Google saying: "Googlebot identified a significant increase in the number of URLs on ****.com that return a 404 (not found) error. " I checked it out and found the problem: 4 Soft 404's

Keyword Density Clarification, Please
Does keyword density only account for the content-based text on the page or everything that can be crawled on the page? To illustrate, I'll use this forum page and the keyword Moz. Here's my incredibly short blog post: "Moz forum is very helpful, but I still can't figure out Moz analytics." Now, in terms of keyword density, is "Moz" only being counted twice for the times I mentioned it in my post (what I'm calling content-based text) or is "Moz" being counted 40-50 times for all the places it appears on this page. Thanks, Ruben

IP Indexing of MySQL with 80,000 links , help please
Hi There, We were just using one server for both Mysql & httpd server. The server's IP address was 207.36.90.69. Time to time the server couldn't handle the requests so we decided to get new servers in order to handle them. When i talk to my system engineer and software developer about this, they've suggested clustering our site http://goo.gl/ITNqs. So we moved our site http://goo.gl/ITNqs to the server (216.87.165.21) but we kept the old machine 207.36.90.69 to use as MySQL server and deleted all HTTP related files last year. Somehow google indexed 80K unnatural links from this old IP 207.36.90.69. We have received an unnatural links warning back in august and got a link related penalty on sept 28th. Our webmaster tools are showing that we have 80,000 link pointing to our site from the old server with only mysql on it. Can someone help us understand how google crawler indexed an IP with no http related files on it for almost a year, 10 months to be exact. Thank you

Canonicalization of index.html - please help
I've read up on the subject but am new at this so I thought I would just put forth a simple question. We want our home page to be referred to as www.domain.com. We want the search engines to find and return this URl in search results. But the page has to have a name and the actual name is NOT to www.domain.com/index.html. This, I believe is what can cause duplicate cotnent issues (not really duplicate but perceived by the serach engines as duplicate content). Is it best to insert http://www.domain.com/" /> in the HEAD section of the index.html page or am I totally misunderstanding this concept?
