Amazon s3 how do i use it as a cdn service
-
Hi i have signed up to s3 amazon and have uploaded my images to my bucket but the trouble i am having is, how do i have the images on my site. i have tried to use the url that it is showing but all that is doing is https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/in2town/audreyrobertslarge.jpg not bringing up the image on my site and when i have done it through the internet search box it does not bring up an image.
I have been told this is a great cdn service and a cost effective one but i really need to learn how to use it.
has anyone used this service and if so can you please let me know what i need to do
I have now managed to get a bit futher with the help of stuart Bell but the images are still not showing on my site. any help would be great.
many regards

I am reading this and tried it but i must be missing something
If your object is in a folder within your bucket, then the folder must also be included in the URL. For example, if image.jpg was located in your bucket's Images folder, then the URL would be: http://d604721fxaaqy9.cloudfront.net/images/image.jpg.
i have my domain name d22wnjaygrh83y.cloudfront.net
and then my image is jenniferanistonlarge.jpg
so i put it together like it says which is d22wnjaygrh83y.cloudfront.net/jenniferanistonlarge.jpg but nothing comes up
if i double click on an image that i was looking at only a few minutes ago in my bucket, i get this
<error>
AccessDenied<message>Access Denied</message><requestid>311AC6250EC638CC</requestid><hostid>J0dwp7GCiRcxFd1nrQg6fXnCQxt8/6PgrlGEgXpeBaBFXDm7I8f3bYwd6D0Ciifu</hostid></error>not sure why because i have loaded the image to my bucket and i doubled clicked it a few minutes ago and it shown it but now brings the above message up.

Yep they need to implement the 1click system to the technical offerings not just books

Hi Diane
S3 is the storage, Cloudfront is the CDN service. Here is a link to the Cloudfront guide.
Thanks
Stuart

Do things like using labels on an element that is not a form input affect how google sees us in regards to accessibility?
Do things like using labels on an element that is not a form input affect how google sees us? It's an accessibility error that our devs have made - using a label element because it looks good, not because it's an actual label on a form field. Just wondering how that affects accessibility in Google's eyes.

Using a query string for linked, static landing pages - is this good practice?
My company has a page with links for each of our dozen office locations as well as a clickable map. These offices are also linked in the footer of every page along with their phone number. When one of these links is clicked, the visitor is directed to a static page with a picture of the office, contact information, a short description, and some other information. The URL for these pages is displayed as something like http:/example.com/offices.htm?office_id=123456, with seemingly random ID numbers at the end depending on the office that remain static. I know first off that this is probably bad SEO practice, as the URL should be something like htttp://example.com/offices/springfield/ My question is, why is there a question mark in the page URL? I understand that it represents a query string, but I'm not sure why it's there to begin with. A search query should not required if they are just static landing pages, correct?. Is there any reason at all why they would be queries? Is this an issue that needs to be addressed or does it have little to no impact on SEO?

Using More Info javascript:toggleDisplay tag for More info text
Is there any harm in using javascript so a user can "toggle" open or closed additional text on a website? For example, if a user wants to read more about something, they can click on "More Info" and the text would then appear. Google is able to read the text, because I chose a random 8 word section of the text within the More Info and pasted it into a Google Search and the website showed up in search results. Just wondering if using this technique would have any negative impact. Here's what the code would look like:
Web Design | | EEE3
<a <span="">title</a><a <span="">="Show Tables" href="</a><a class=" " target="_blank">javascript:toggleDisplay('table1')</a>">More Info style="display: none;" id="table1"> this is where the text would be, and from this section was where I grabbed text to search with in google. Then in the footer, here is the script needed so the more info will work: I am by no means an expert in coding/html/javascript. Thanks!0 -
Is it a good idea to use sub-domains?
Hello everyone! I have a question about whether we should be using sub-domains. We are currently in the process of redesigning our site so this would be the time to do it. We are a reseller of brand name IT equipment (servers, storage, etc...) should we create a sub-domain for each brand for example: hp.domain.com dell.domain.com or should we just use folders instead like: domain.com/hp domain.com/dell does one have any more SEO value than the other? Thank you!

Is there any difference in using an underscore vs. a dash in the directory portion of the url?
A friend who is a software developer asked this question regarding the directory portion of the url: Is it better to use dashes or underscores? I know in the domain name Matt Cutts recommends dashes, but what about the directory extension?
