New WAF/CDN's
Only one offers a free plan also
I must be upfront and TAGFEE I am a partner of Imperva the company that owns Incapula.
Incapula now has a free offer on their content delivery network, of course, there are two catches.
- If your site Is encrypted a.k.a. Using SSL or https:// you must choose a paid plan.
- You do not get access to their phenomenal rewrite rules which can speed up your site quite a bit. Still, if you have no or no intention to use https this is better than CloudFlare when it comes to speed plus much better when it comes to security, but you must pay for the safety on both networks
The second content delivery network is not free. But worth mentioning.
StackPath is a new CDN/WAF built on MaxCDN's network. However, it offers you so much more for the base price of $20 month compared to what that would cost on MaxCDN hundreds of dollars a month.
This CDN is unique because you get so much for the money. I bring it up only because people browsing this will hopefully find this useful.
Hopefully, this is of use people checking out this question.
All the best,
Tom

I use MaxCDN at my place of work, it has proved itself to be very good, easy to set up and relatively inexpensive depending on the plan. As per Thomas and Thomas - CloudFlare is great as a free version.
-
- amazon Cloudfront is the best...
-
As mentioned by Thomas, I would really have a look at cloudflare, their free plan for me personally performs much better than other paid content delivery networks.
-
A free content delivery network the best one would be https://www.cloudflare.com/ is completely free and very high-quality & very simple to set up and will accelerate your site quite a bit. with a network that keeps growing, I would say if you're looking for completely free this is the only way to go. Here's a larger photo of the one below.

**The same goes for Incapsula.com free plan, but if you do not log in often enough, they will turn it off on a free program. If you get their base paid offering, it is an incredible CDN as well. **
If you're looking to spend tiny bit more money but want a pure CDN to check out keyCDN CDNFi, CDN 77 Max CDN Rackspace CDN uses Akamai, and it's a bargain.
If Looking for great content delivery networks fastly, CacheFly.com, edge cast, Turbobytes

If you are looking for a higher quality CDN unique just content delivery CDN or information on CDN's, this is a list of reviews capabilities of each CDN and the cost and comparison
I hope this helps,

Anyone have a good process for Schema.org auditing?
I am looking to do a Schema.org audit across a large number of websites that all run on the same platform. I'm not really sure where to start and what format to use for a deliverable. I suppose starting by checking for errors on the current schema and documenting them and then moving on to additional schema that could be added to the JSON+LD? My last structured data audit I just used a spreadsheet and it didn't come out as neat as I would have liked. Anyone who has some experience in this, your input would be much appreciated!

My Link Building Strategy Good or Bad?
Okay I am new to SEO and I have read a few SEO beginner guides and have been practicing SEO over time now. I am trying to do SEO for a new clients site that is a completely new site with no MR and MT and here is my current link building strategy. Can you please review my link building plan and help me out with suggestions and corrections 1. Directory Submissions- From what I understand since the new google penguin updates this isn't as effective of a method but I am trying get high PR directory list, but a lot of them require paid standard submission reviews, otherwise it takes 2-3 months 2. Local Directory Submissions- Such as yelp, angee's list, whitepages, and other local directories. 3. Social Bookmarking- submit links to social bookmarking sites with target keyword(s) as anchor 4. Article Writing & Submission: create articles and submit to high pr article directories with different article titles and also wanted to see different submissions I can make with each article 5. Press Releases- submit to high pagerank press release directories, also wanted to see how many submissions is generally the rule of thumb for press releases. 6. Blog Outreach for Product Reviews: Submit products to blogs with PR 2+ to get review and backlinks 7. Forum Profile Creation- create forum profiles and engage in topics with signature with a link, I understand that since the penguin update this isn't something I should emphasis on 8. Blog Commenting- comment on relevant blogs that have dofollow links and nofollow links for link diversity 9. Guest Blogging- Write unique content and outreach to related blogs for guest posting opportunities 10. .edu & .gov links- How do I gain .edu & .gov links I have read several articles and I am having a hard time understanding this concept, would commenting on .edu & .gov blogs and profiles be an effective method or the correct method for gaining these types of links?

Linking to urls with Query Parameters good for SEO?
Hey guys, I am currently buying link ad spots on sites (hardcoded, not using ad networks). I track the each link I buy and the sales they generate with query parameters such as : http://www.mydomain.com/?r=top_menu_nav_on_seomoz My question is : do these links still pass link juice? I have my canonical already set to http://www.mydomain.com Also, in Webmaster tools I have it set to ignore anything after /?r= The way I see it, a link is a link. Naturally I would prefer to send directly to my root domain, however, these links cost a lot of money and I like to track my results. Does anyone have experience with SEO and working with query parameters?

Penguin update... is this a good idea?
I have one site that got hit by the latest google updates. Penguin and EMD. The site was making me nice income but now with the traffic drop its not. I was going to 301 to a new domain but was reading that if it works to bring it back in the serps it would only last 3-4 weeks... then i though just get a domain and add the content over time and get rid of the old domain. + take care and build better links. I bought website that already ranks and been around since about 2003 online. Not hit by the updates and has few goood links. Would it be a better idea to move content to this site and make it grow? Not sure what to do..

What is a good content for google?
When we start to study SEO and how google see our webpage, one important point is to have good content. But, for beginners like me, we get lost on this.

What's a good place for a copywriter to start researching the more technical aspects of SEO?
I've been working as a copywriter for about a year and a half now and I feel like the more advanced SEO topics (rel= tags, .htaccess files, etc) are a bit over my head. Is there a website where I can read up on all of these things? I have a basic understanding of them but I couldn't talk about them for very long, and I want to become more well rounded as a search marketer. Thanks!!
