Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have recently added an SSL certificate to my site robt.info to make a nice and secure bitcoin e-commerce store to sell children's books in. My question is, even after 301 redirecting everything from http://robt.info to https://robt.info, changing canonicals and all that... do I need to submit the HTTPS version as a new site to Webmaster tools? OR, can I just leave the HTTP version in there as the only site for the HTTPS?? I guess what I am asking is... does google know that the HTTPS version is now the one true version with out me adding another site in Webmaster tools???? thanks in advance. rob

It all happened a few weeks after Penguin 2.0 was released so I'm not sure if it is in any way related. My home page robt.info currently ranks really well for relevant key words like kids author. This has lead me to believe that 2.0 didn't negatively effect my site. I'm not in the business of anything remotely black hat related and purely focus on content. But, if you search for individual blog posts (which are extremely unique), they are nowhere to be seen. For example, one post I did was a story titled 'Fairy Floss For Brains'. Up until the second week of June I ranked extremely well for these really weird and unique blog posts. But now, they don't rank very well at all. Not even in top 100. They are indexed and in my sitemap. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue? Is there something I have done wrong that anyone can see? EDIT: I was able to utilise feedback from my question to resolve my issue. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP GUYS!
