Hi Marina,
The last I heard on this (earlier this year), https wasn't supported in the Preferred Domain feature - only www or non-www. So make sure that your sitemap is submitted with https URLs, your internal links all point to https URLs, and your http version 301 redirects to your https version, and that would be sufficient.

Thank you for help!
Unfortunately these tutorials not about https domains but about regular http domains.
Anyway thanks!

Hi Andy,
My bad. I mistakenly said i'm unable to verify. I actually verified it. The thing i'm unable to do is to set preferred domain. I'm receiving this error when i select preferred domain (without www): "Part of the process of setting a preferred domain is to verify that you own http://www.youthfulhome.com/. Please verify http://www.mydomain.com/."
So i assume it treats https as different domain and doesn't see that i already verified it. Aby idea how i can set the preferred domain?
Thanks

Hi Marina,
How are you trying to verify it? Meta Tag? Upload a file? DNS / Analytics?
Are you seeing an error message when you are trying to do this? You could also check here to see if it helps answer your question.

I changed the {Site Name} of our domain by capitalizing a letter. 48 hours later our SEO rankings are bad. How long does it take to rebound our prior rankings. The {site name} was at the end of every page title.
I changed the {Site Name} of our domain slightly and capitalized a letter. The impact 48 hours later on SEO is really, really bad. How long does it take to recapture our prior rankings and should I change the site name back to the original? The {site name} was at the end of every page title. Thanks for any help/advice on this. We worked so hard to get our business on the first page for many keywords and "POOF" we are gone now.

Can some expert help us on switching domain name issues?
We have a small brick and mortar store chain in California. And we also have an online store with the same domain name. We are planning to invest on our online store platform and switch to Magento. while switching to Magento platform we are also considering to switch our domain name also. Our current domain name is not representing our current business model and capacity. Our brick and mortar store name is PuzzleZoo, our e-store domain is also PuzzleZoo. This domain is active in use for well over 10 years. But once started as a puzzle store, today we sell more toys than puzzles. We want to keep our brick and mortar store name as our brand. We also own ToyZoo domain name. And we are looking to use the new Magento store with ToyZoo domain. The question is should we keep both domains separately running or should we use only one. In this case should we stay with PuzzleZoo with only looks like a Puzzle store instead of a toy store. Or should we use ToyZoo and redirect the PuzzleZoo links to ToyZoo links? If we have both stores open with similar products, descriptions and images, are we going to get penalized by Google for duplicate content issues? Or PuzzleZoo being a brick and mortar store and ToyZoo being an online only store will help us to avoid getting Penalized by Google or other search engines? If we use Toyzoo are we going to lose our keyword authority and traffic? Looking forward to hear Expert opinions. Your participation will be highly appreciated.

Websites copying my content and spamming it on 15+ different domains- WHY?? More pop up as I try to take each one down- what do they gain from this?
I own http://TheCareerProject.org and in the last 3 months over 15 sites have popped up copying my content and Google is scanning it as my own. Why would a site do this? Is it a hacker campaign to take away rankings? What benefits do they get from this. EXAMPLE1 : http://germanbollati.com/heat-victor-hugo-juarez-puebla/, EXAMPLE 2: http://rsa-dev1.com/unbalanced-underwriting-outsourcing-india/ There are 15 more I have submitted to Google Webmaster to evaluate and I contact the site owners and majority do not respond. Why are they doing this and what can I do? Thank you - Alicia- info@thecareerproject.org
