does google knows server ip behind cloudflare ?
 

if yes, then how ?

to save 5 bucks, i am hosting same niche site on same ip and using cloudflare to hide the fact they are hosted on same server/ip. (becuase i rea dsame niche sites hosted on same server cant rank for same keywords.)

i have blocked direct access to the site , and only allow access from cloudflare servers.

so my question is ,

does google knows server ip behind cloudflare ?


don't give me shit answers like "google knows everything".

thanks for your time.

As long as your not using GA to track stats, they shouldn't have a direct knowledge that they are both owned by you. But, I'm sure they have the same history info as any one else, so if before implementing cloudflare, you had them on the same IP, then you should assume that they know that they are still owned by the same owner. The only way to break that, would be to add newly reg domains directly to CF, then there is no chain of ownership that can be tracked back to each other.

:2 cents:

thanks,

i never thought about history info. i dont use analytics.
