Amazon s3 links

[eyepaq]

Hello,

Dose anyone has experience with Amazon s3 ?

Hosting images, site elements and static files (pdf etc) on Amazon S3 bucket can influence the link structure / juice ? (by having external links to the amazon s3 bucket / account).

If you host all the site images and site resources with Amazon S3 will all those "links" count as outgoing external links ? Is it worst then having everything linking internally ?

Dose anyone knows if that can hurt you ?

Personally I was not able to test it and I am sure I can't test it in the near future. Hope someone has and I can skip some steps with this.

Thanks !

Actually the speed is better - at least in my case as I believe few can compete with Amazon cloud resources but I am wondering if those outgoing links can count more in a negative way vs an internal link structure for images and resources (psd , videos etc).

Hi Eyepaq,

SEOmoz using a CDN to host all of our images, though we set up a DNS change so they can be hosting on a third party server but listed at cdn.seomoz.org.  Doing what you are talking about shouldn't effect any of your "juice" if you are just using it to display your images using the img tag or via css.  You pdfs might be affected since you are using a <a href="">tag which tells Google you are linking to that file.  In the long run you will be much better off than anything you might lose by doing something like this.</a>
