Which SSL should I get or does it even matter?
-
We do not have an eCommerce on our site but we do have a worldwide website and a local website, which SSL certs should I get?
I found a lot here over at namecheap but not sure if the 10.95 would do just fine or what here: https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates/geotrust.aspx ?

It doesnt really matter....for now.
Obviously, you'll need to pay more and give more information to get the better certificates so THAT might have an effect in the future. Who knows when.
I'm currently moving some of our sites to different certs to test them in the coming year.
Getting the greenbar, say like Yoast's site or Paypal and many others, it does give you a more secure feel.
For regular browsers, it could mean that it's safer, maybe it could lead to better engagement/conversions

I wrote an article a while back with some basic information on the different types, you might find it helpful. http://dh42.com/blog/prestashop-ssl-certificates/

It doesn't matter to Google. I don't think anyone issues on less than 2048 bits (your actual encryption will be 128 or 256 bits, depending on what your server and the client supports). As long as it's valid and signed properly it should be fine.
Public Service Announcement: Please opt for SHA2 (if asked) and make sure you don't have any heartbleed problems.

How to Get google to get to index New URL and not the OLD url
Hi Team, We are undertaking a Domain migration activity to migrate our content frrom one domain to another. 1. the Redirection of pages is handeled at Reverse proxy level. 2. We do have 301 redirects put in place. However we still see that google is indexing pages with our Old domain apart from the pages from new domain. Is there a way for us to stop google from indexing our pages from Old domain. The recommendations to have Noindex on Page mete title and disallow does not work since our redirection is setup at RP and google crawlers always discover the new pages after redirection.

Getting the Proper CCTLDs & Subdomains to Rank in the Proper Countries
We seem to be having a really difficult time getting Google to do what we want in regards to getting proper domains indexed in the proper countries. In regards to English language, we tend to see a tremendous amount of crossover between .com, .in, and .co.uk. And yes international targeting is put in place. For example, both our .com and co.uk websites are in english and when someone enters a search query for one of our particular products, the .com website shows up to users in the UK. The countries with the hardest time are as follows and typically find them competing primarily with .com, but others can interlope as well. **All primarily in English: ** Canada UK India Australia Any ideas on how we can get this aligned correctly to where we can get the proper CCTLD to show up in the correct country instead of the .com?

Has anyone had any success buying a local domain website, getting it on first page and then selling it to a local business? I have found some good domains that this might work for but I am wondering if anybody has tried this before.
I would like to buy a local domain like scottsdalepaintingcontractor.com and then seo it to first page before I sell it. Has anybody tried such strategy?

Single sites per location as well as group site. Should we get rid of single sites & only keep group site.
Currently we have several single sites for each of our dealership locations as well as an automotive group site linking to each location(dealership) website. Currently there is no landing page for each location on the group site. To save money we were looking into beefing up our group site and getting rid of our individual location sites. 301 redirecting them to location landing pages on the group site website. Each site has about the same authority including the group site. Each dealership location resides in the same province(state) but some locations are a 7hour drive apart so not all within the same vicinity. I want to ensure we continue to rank well in each location. I won't be able to include all geographic locations in the title tag on the homepage of the group site due to the character restrictions. What would you recommend? Keeping the individual websites per dealership location OR focusing solely on a group website. I need to ensure we continue to rank well in each city where each dealership resides. Thanks for any recommendations! It's greatly appreciated. Thanks for everyone's thoughts & opinions.
