HTTP to HTTPS
-
I had a site that was http://www.site.com and now the entire site is https://www.site.com.
I notice in WMT its showing https://wwwsite.com listed as not verified. I never added it, but did Google recognize it and added it to my list of sites?
- Do I need to verify it? Is it ok to have verified http:www.site.com and additionally https://www.site.com
Also, i submitted a new sitemap and indexed pages are low. Will that go up as Google crawls the site?
The https://www.site.com was launched about a week ago.
Thanks.

Short answer - Yes
slightly less short answer - just like most people add www. and none www. to webmasters its good to do the same for secure sites while not essential its good to make sure you've got all bases covered also means you don't miss any communications from Google that may come through that site. Let me know if you want more info and ill do my best to get it to you.

Google indexing https insted of http pages
Hi!
On-Page Optimization | | ovieira
First of all i have a Wordpress portuguese languagem website (**http://**bit.ly/TGjpVx). For a while, for security pourposes, i had a SSL certificate installed on my website but i didn't renew it, for a few months now. I didn't have any special https page. All pages responded using http or https. My problem is that it seems that Google still indexes some o my webpages with https and not http, so when people click on it they get a bad cached page. No good for SEO, i think. What can i do about this? I only want Google, and other serach engines, to index my clean http pages (about 70 pages). Thanks,

Https and secure pages
Hello, I have a facebook badge in my footer. Is it okay if I make the code call on https. It makes the page secure for IE. I have also have done this for images. These secure urls are also being called on non secure pages. But I don't think that matters does it? Code below. Thanks Tyler
