>Article fails to mention that when CloudFlare has issues, they present Captcha's to the Google Bot, and your site gets delisted.

As someone who uses CloudFlare on a site that depends on Google traffic (~800K/month directly from G), this is simply not true.

Do you mean cloudflare has had issues presenting your site to googlebot and you've not been delisted, or you use cloudflare and you've not been delisted?

I mean I've not noticed any negative trends in Googlebot spidering my site, and my site's rankings have not changed since I switched to Cloudflare 3 months ago.
