Does your site now need HTTPS to rank well in Google search?
B2C just released an article that suggests you may need to consider using HTTPS. Recently, they've seen a large increase in the number of HTTPS results on page 1 of Google search. This means one of two things:
1. "Google’s algorithm updated to a point where HTTPS is now considered a lot more important to page ranking or"
2. "A massive movement of one or more popular domains from HTTP to HTTPS."
We'd love to hear from Eric Enge of Stone Temple Consulting and or Bruce Clay, Inc. for their expert input on this one.

https://www.denverprophit.us/protect-wordpress-admin-login-screens-forced-ssl-logins/ that I wrote over a year ago will fix you right up with HTTPS everywhere for wordpress.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is it's just more folks switching and less that it has become a heavier ranking factor. Nobody gets to the front page of Google by complying to just one ranking factor
ReplyDeleteThanks Denver Prophit Jr.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent point MaAnna Stephenson. Eric Enge makes the additional point, that Google can't afford to drop too many relevant sites from SERPs just because they don't have HTTPS. However, the projections are that many sites will be adopting this in future.
