SSL Cert error
-
Just just implemented SSL with a wild card cert and I got an email from google that my non-www cert is not valid.
Any ideas ?
SSL/TLS certificate does not include domain name https://electrictime.com/
To: Webmaster of https://electrictime.com/,
Google has detected that the current SSL/TLS certificate used on <a>https://electrictime.com/</a> does not include <a>https://electrictime.com/</a> domain name. This means that your website is not perceived as secure by some browsers. As a result, many web browsers will block users accessing your site by displaying a security warning message. This is done to protect users’ browsing behavior from being intercepted by a third party, which can happen on sites that are not secure.

I suggest to just do redirection from non www to www or http to https version. This link may be helpful for you.

How did you impliment it? Do you have access to Apache? if you do This is how I have about 20 of my websites SSL CRT/KEY files setup if you want something to check it with. IF you did it with php.ini probably will need to check the walkthrough with your webhost.
<virtualhost *:443=""></virtualhost>
Serveradmin some@email.com
ServerName website.com
ServerAlias www.website.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/website/
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "/var/key/website.com.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/var/key/website.com.key"
allow from all

Hi Thomas
If you registered the SSL for www then it won't necessarily cover the non www. You should make sure that the version you sign up for SSL with matches the configuration you are using. If you bought an SSL for www then use www.
I have this issue with one of our sites but it is only saying this in the Opera browser.

Hi There,
Your website is accurately redirected to the https://www version, I won't worry about the error as non-www version is not relevant in your case. You may also read the following articles why this problem might have come:

https://www.quora.com/How-can-an-HTTPS-certificate-work-for-both-the-www-and-non-www-domains
I hope this helps, let me know if you have further queries.
Best Regards,
Vijay

SSL Certificate valid for SEO https
Hi everybody! I have talked with my hosting provider and he offers me two kind of SSL. I've read that the best option for SEO is to convert the hole site to https response (not only the payment pages), but my developer team is telling me that this kind of security to the whole site will be negative for all the websites contained under this IP ¡! So I wonder if somebody who has the https implemented correctly and working properly for SEO could recommend me: which kind of certificate is the correct one and what specific things sould I consider with my hosting provider if it's true that could be a disaster if I implement the https to the whole website beacause I'm blocking the robots and it's dangerous for my domains in this server Please, any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Why are Pages returning 404 errors not being dropped?
Our webmaster tools continues to return anywhere upwards of 750 pages that have 404 errors. These are from pages of a previous site no longer used. However this was over 1 year ago these pages were dropped along with the 301 re-directs. Why is Google not clearing these from webmaster tools but re-listing them again after 3 month cycle? Is it because external sites have links to these pages? If so should I put a 301 in place (most of these site are forums and potentially dodgy directories etc from previous poor link building programs) or ask for a manual removal?

Generating 404 Errors but the Pages Exist
Hey I have recently come across an issue with several of a sites urls being seen as a 404 by bots such as Xenu, SEOMoz, Google Web Tools etc. The funny thing is, the pages exist and display fine. This happens on many of the pages which use the Modx CMS, but the index is fine. The wordpress blog in /blog/ all works fine. The only thing I can think of is that I have a conflict in the htaccess, but troubleshooting this is difficult, any tool I have found online seem useless. Have tried to rollback to previous versions but still does not work. Anyone had any experience of similar issues? Many thanks K.
