Moving from HTTP to HTTPS
-
I have moved One of my client website http to https.
What Changes Required as per SEO like in webmaster or Analytics or any Other
Thanks..

We just did this for many clients as well:
In general, for starters, I would say make sure you're forcing all traffic to https://
In Google Analytics: View Level > View Settings > Change the URL to https://
In Webmaster Tools (Search Console): In my opinion, I would create a property set for the client, and within it add your current http:// property as well as creating a new property for the https:// URL.
If you use other tools, I would just make sure you're linked with / tracking the https:// version of the site.
Hope that's helpful!

How does switching to HTTPS effect Google Analytics?
We are looking at making our site HTTPS. We have been using the same Google Analytics account for years and I like having the historical data. All of our pages will be the same, we are just going to redirect from the http to https. Does anything need to be done with Google Analytics? What about other addons such as Optimizely, Crazy Egg, or Share this?

Mobile redirect causing traffic drop? Can I move analytics code to capture them as visitors before redirecting them?
Yesterday I implemented a mobile redirect as I don't have a mobile version of my site. As a result I've seen a drop in traffic which makes sense as my redirect script is at the top of the page. If I were to move the redirect script below the analytics code would that allow me to still track mobile users? Would this affect my bounce rate though?

301 Redirect 'https'? First post - Newbie.
Good afternoon, Thank you in advance for your help - this is my first post and I am new to all of this. Situation: I've setup 301 redirects for www.thechiplab.com to my new site www.chiplab.com (recently launched e-commerce site on Magento) through cPanel. Problem: Some of my best links are to my old ''https:" www.thechiplab.com secure domain (ex. http://techcrunch.com/2006/12/22/why-doesnt-cafepress-use-flash/) and are not being "passed" on to the new domain. (Open Site Explorer) Is it possible to recover any of the PR from the old secure site? Thanks again, Chase

Moving GAnalytics access from Gmail account to GApps account
Hi team. My main Google Analytics account uses my personal gmail account that existed before Google Apps. I now only use that account for Analytics and Website Optimizer. I use Google Apps for email and everything else. Does anyone know if I can move the Analytics / Optimizer access from my gmail account to my apps account?
