In case that Google link didn't make sense. That's 2500 sites (2.5% of CF's Site base) that have had their site present Google bot with an access denied error. Not with a 500 error, Not with a 403. With a perfectly happy 200.
As to my loyalties and background. CDNinaBox runs on GAE. I'm not likely to make any money selling it to GAE users. Currently CDN In A Box has 150-ish Domains running on it. Our typical customer is on the service less than 90 days before we move them to a bigger solution, or resolve their issues. The sites that are on longer are small sites that aren't looking to scale. CDN in a Box does NOT view CF as a competitor, we do view them as a lead generator for our SEO services at BlackWaterOps.com in fact, we would make the most money if more people would join Cloud Flare. And when comparing our bias, consider that CF only shows up in this forum when they want to bash me, bash GAE, or claim they handle Proxies correctly and that GAE treats them unfarely. I'm here every day. Multiple times a day, and have maybe promoted my products or services 10 times, and those were for people who were considering building what I already had built, not because I was going to get rich on $20 a month. (I can't even make that back on the 45 minute call I have with most of those people to help them figure out their issues).

Here's info on CloudFlare and SEO addressing his speculated concerns: http://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-and-seo Short summary: we actually markedly improve most sites' SEO and can help AppEngine users get SSL on a custom domain. As to the topic at hand, a number of users requested that we provide a way to allow SSL on AppEngine. We added a simple feature to support it and have been surprised how many people have taken advantage of it. Implementing SSL in a cloud-based environment is non-trivial and we spent more than a year, had to form several key partnerships, and developed significant technology, in order to get it to work reliably before we launched CloudFlare. If there are further ways we can help the AppEngine developer community, let us know.
