Google improves HTTPS websites rankings...

[arronmattwills]

We all know that Google earlier many times declared that they are not giving any special important to HTTPS websites (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer).

But now Google considering and forward to give better ranking to Secured sites because they have a genuine and high-quality content. We know Google doesn't encourage web spam and it will surely encourage unique content sites. HTTPS means it is a secured website.

Few things we need to remember if we have a HTTPS site:
We have to allow robots, so that search engines can more easily crawl it.
Google web master tools update tools for HTTPS sites.
We need to carefully observe the analytics changes while we are shifting from HTTP to HTTPS.

Yes, I read about it. However, you need to set up your redirect carefully.

I agree with this and if you are going to change to Https then you should .htaccess to do that. It's simple to change all your URLs from http to https wihout loosing rankings

My sites ranking is improving more than the sites using https for its main keyword and I don't see any reason to change that. Changing to https won't help you if your seo is not worthy making your site rank well.

Yep, I saw this as well. Don't think it's a bad thing really. SSL certificates are pretty easy to get and for those of us who sell digital goods it can be a good thing.

Now google will not give good ranking of those site which has only http. google will give good rank to https because https is safer than http.
