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.

In one of the previous opened discussions the solution given was: you'd update the server level rule to point directly to the end URL form.

My site auto redirects http to https. This is causing redirect chains. What can I do?
I noticed that Moz flags a lot of redirect chain issues on my site. I realized that this is mostly because the site automatically redirects http to https, and when I create a new URL (when a URL changes, for example) it is automatically flagged as a chain. Example: http://www.example-link Auto directs to: https://www.example-link Which is then redirected to: https://www.example-link-changed (when the address actually changes) I don't seem to have any control over changing where the initial http redirect goes. Any advice on fixing this problem?

Do https sites rank as well as http sites?
2 Questions: Question 1 - We currently have our entire site running on https (the http pages 301-redirect to the https versions). Assuming that the https pages load as quickly as the http versions, is it a problem that the entire site is https? The only official answer I've been able to find is this 2011 video where Matt Cutts basically says "I don't know" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeFo4ytOk8M Question 2 - Is there any problem with having half our site running on https only (with the http pages redirected), and the other half (our blog) running on http only (with all https blog pages redirected to the http versions)? Thanks in advance for any input! Justin

If a site has https versions of every page, will the search engines view them as duplicate pages?
A client's site has HTTPS versions of every page for their site and it is possible to view both http and https versions of the page. Do the search engines view this as duplicate content?
