cloudflare with PBN is it good or bad

[nexusseo]

HI, have anyone using Cloudflare for building PBN?
is it a good idea? since the Cloudflare IP is dynamic

 

[smacker]

but your true ip can (usually) easily be unmasked .. if free websites can do it then so can google

Even if Google couldn't unmask the real IP, it'd still be a giant footprint.

But my questions is , is it good idea?

Hi, what do you mean by "even if Google could not unmask the real IP, it'd still be a giant footprint?" How can it be Giant Footprint if thousand of people using cloudflare?

It's not good or bad, it's OK. 'Coz tons of web-sites use CF.

Reminder: 50% of the people on BHW are fearmongering idiots.

CF is fine to use on some of your network. Just make sure there’s no footprint / IP leaks. I’m not going to tell you how to do that but I’m sure you can figure it out.

Millions of sites use CF, it’s totally natural to have sites on CF. And, if you set it up properly, even a trace route cannot link back to your server... at least not from the root domain.com.

I have been using CF on all my PBNs (also on the same host) for the past few years and had zero problems.

Is it a footprint? Yes

Does that mean that Google is looking for that footprint? Nope

I can think of 100s of things that you could call a footprint, but that does not mean that Google actively search for sites containing those footprints.

Competitors on the other hand could check if they really wanted to. But, unless you are in a highend competitive niche, nobody is digging into your link profile that far.

Feel free to use it. Just make sure to delete all records except cname and A record. These are the only ones needed. Delete those email DNS records and similar stuff.

I would say only use a portion of your PBN sites on CLOUDFLARE. I personally use cloudflare on a big portion of my PBN.

If you are talking about using all your PBN sites on one host, then using Cloudflare to try and disguise that host, I'd say bad. I couldn't say for certain, but it isn't a risk I'd take. I'd take an educated guess that they could easily be linked.

Honestly, using CF is actually safer than using SEO hosting.

From my personal finding, I tried reverse engineer a PBN of my network hosted on EBN, and interestingly, I figured that all sites hosted on those IPs are PBNs and they are extremely obvious, that is basically like handing the golden plate to Google manual reviewers.

So you can hide all the footprints you want, but if your neighbors from the same IP(s) busted, high chance your will be too. I am not saying not to use SEO hosting, it is just that it is not as "footprint-free" as many claimed.

If you decide to use CF, you should be fine if you only have A records (root domain) + Cname (www).

If all if your PBN backlinks use it, yes it is. If some do and some don't, it isn't because, like you said, so many people use it.

I'm not saying Google is monitoring that now. But can they in the future if they aren't now?
