Content Delivery Network

[Gyi]

Anyone have a good reference for implementing a content delivery network? Any SEO pitfalls with using a CDN (brief research seems to indicate no problems)?

I seem to recall that SEOmoz was using Amazon Web Services (AWS) for CDN. Is that still the case?

All CDN & AWS experiences, advice, references welcomed!

You shouldn't have any issues, as long as you do it correctly (use CNAMES, etc.)

Faster site speed (if you actually use a fast CDN) will also have a positive SEO impact (although we don't know how much weight this is being given.)

I believe SEOMoz is still using CloudFront.

If you want good third-party data on CDN performance, check CloudClimate or Cedexis.

Cloud Flare is the easiest I have found. MaxCDN is another I have heard of. And other hosting companies that may be in geographic regions you want your site to be close to can provide services as well.

Thanks.
