I own a video publishing media group and I'm planning to switch CDN's.
What I noticed from a lot of my competitors is that they "white label" the CDN.
One CDN provider confirmed to me that 3 competing companies use them as CDN, but when I go to their website, press "inspect" and play the content, when I go to the Network tab, all I see is some random IP or a domain name that was created specifically for the CDN, for example, if the company name is Video Group, then it'll be something like videogroup-cdn.com
How do they do that? Is that even possible to completely "white label" the CDN and not have it trace back to your supplier?

Currently when I access the Google Play store from a browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/top?hl=en), I can only see:
Top Apps, Top Selling Apps, Top Grossing Apps, Top Games, Top Selling Games, Top Grossing games.
I am trying to scrape data to get the top selling/grossing apps on the Play Store for EVERY GENRE of apps (i.e. Education, Health, Social, etc). I would've thought this data would be available on the browser Play Store because apparently it is available on the Android App Play Store. When selecting a category on the web browser Play Store, there are no options to view the top selling/grossing apps.
There are many (commercial) API's that give information on top Google Play apps for each genre so surely this information is able to be scraped from somewhere? For example Applyzer, https://www.applyzer.com/?mmenu=worldcharts shows top apps for every genre on the Play store. I would web scrape from here but I want to do this directly from Google.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
SOLVED: see my own post below
SOLVED: I just managed to solve this myself. Turns out the Google Play Store does display this information, but you must manually enter the URL yourself. For example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/category/BUSINESS/collection/topselling_paid BUSINESS can be replaced by any category, and topselling_paid can be interchanged with topselling_free or topgrossing

Try fetching this image by entering its URL directly in your browser.
I get a tiny gif that is a mere 6 by 5 pixels in size.
The typical use of "pixel images" is for ad/visitor tracking and statistics between different sites. The request parameters that are included in the URL, along with HTTP REFERER inform the pixel provider (in this case wp.com) about the page-view. If the visitor to your site happens to be known to the pixel issuer, then in the request they'll also get a cookie that informs them WHO the visitor is.
This can be used for statistics.
This can be used to track effectiveness of ads (conversion rates after someone clicked on an ad and went to a landing page, for instance).
This can be used to track your interests (do you visit a lot of sites about motor cycles or swimming?), etc.
This way you can have tracking pixels from several issuers on one page.
The issuer wp.com (i.e. WordPress.com) is a hint that the site uses Jetpack and probably its included statistics package.
One month ago on web site, www.cashflowtallinn.ee I noticed an issue related to Google Analytics, which is representing as large amount (over 80% of our traffic) viewed by Google as (not set).
This is causing different issues, such as:
If we want to see what pages users mostly visit, biggest percentage is (not set)
If we want to see default languages, biggest percentage is (not set)
If we want to see traffic sources, mostly it's viewed as Direct traffic, but this is not true, since most of our traffic is Social networks.
I tried to resolve issue:
Installed Google Tag Assistant, but it reports all is good.
Examined <head> section and found out that web site has several <title> instances, could this cause issues?
Found this from Google Support https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2820717?hl=en
Fount this, but couldn't find solution http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2015/06/25/11-places-google-analytics-not-set/
Any ideas how to handle this (and issues like this one) ?
There is always a possibility to turn of all plugins and switch back to default theme (since it's WordPress web site), but I would like to test this on live site, and make it work live, so switching off plugins and changing theme is actually not a good idea.
All best,
I noticed your GA code is outside of head tag.
I'd consider fixing the location GA code (inside head tag)
you have 2 same GA codes installed (bad practice)

I'm implementing the Open Graph protocol on my site, and I'm curious if it is possible to "adopt" another site's Open Graph properties within my site's web pages.
For example, suppose a user makes a post to my site that contains a link to an article (such as the New York Times). They then share that post on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, and I want the preview image on those platforms to contain the Open Graph image from the New York Times article web page.
Is this possible?
It's possible, when the user validates the post, you have to check the links inside to target the link of NYT. Then you have to parse yourself the page of the NYT to return the content you want. And finally you use the informations of the OG Tags of the NYT's page.
I think it's a heavy process, and keep in mind that Google penalize heavily the duplicate content from the others websites.
Hypothetical Situation: I have a small obscure website called "miniatureBoltsInCarburetors.com" which provides content about the miniature bolts which hold a carburetor together as well as some general related automotive information. My site also has a single page which allows someone to find the missing bolt in their carburetor, and while no one will access this page directly from my website, one billion other popular automotive sites have embedded this single page in their website using an iframe, yet not included a link back to my site.
I recognize that this question is related to SEO which is considered off topic, however, all of the many SEO related forums discuss the marketing steps one could take, and not the programming steps or strategies, and hope others will allow this question to be answered here.
I wish my site "miniatureBoltsInCarburetors.com" to be ranked high for general automotive searches. What could I do to allow the 3rd party sites which include an iframe back to my site to improve my ranking? Could using JavaScript in the iframe to create a link on the parent page provide any value? What about when my server renders the page, use PHP to get the referring URL from $_SERVER, and include it in the content?
I am providing a solution here. Not sure if this is what you want though.
In your page which is used by other websites in iframe you can put below Javascript. This javascript checks if the webpage is opened inside an iframe or directly in browser.
So using this check when you see it is opened in an iframe. On click on something navigate to your website.
// This works in all browsers
function inIframe () {
try {
return window.self !== window.top;
} catch () {
return true;
}
}
Also for your reference you can check the below URL.
How to prevent my site page to be loaded via 3rd party site frame of iFrame
Hope it helps.
Iframes are seen seperate pages by Google. Your approach may end up being penalized due to being sourced from untrusted site. According to Google Webmaster Support
Frames can cause problems for search engines because they don't
correspond to the conceptual model of the web. Google tries to
associate framed content with the page containing the frames, but we
don't guarantee that we will.
One of the best approaches to rank higher for a specific keyword is, make multiple related sites. In your case a 3-4 paged site about carburetors, bolts, other things your primary site contain would do it. These mini sites will be more intense about the subject due to less page count. Of course they should contain unique articles on each page. Then link from mini websites to primary websites and you can see the dramatic change.
In fact, the thing you are trying to do was a tactic to rank competitors down worked occasionally a few years ago. Now, it is still a risk.
I see. You don't want to mess up the page for your own site, but you want to do something with all the uncredited embeddings.
The solution is fairly simple:
Create a copy of the page.
Switch your site to use the copy.
Amend the version that countless other sites are embedding, so that there is a small link back to you. Or, add an iframe blocker script that will load your site.
If the page is active (ie user interacts with it to find the missing bolt) you could include a sales message with the response encouraging the user to visit your site.
I think that your goal is getting your link onto these other sites long enough to get indexed by Google before it is noticed by the people doing the embedding, so it's a bit of a balancing act.
I see conflicting advice about how Google indexes iframes. You should use a PageRank checker to see if the existing iframe page url has PageRank, and compare it to the page that you embed it on.
I dont Think you need to worry ,.
Google bot does seem to crawl through Iframes ,but the Web-Page Containing that Iframe is not Credited for that Content .. In other Words,, Page-Ranking of that particular Web-Page do not Change due to Contents from Iframe .
is IFrame crawled by Google?
Do robots crawl iframes?
