SSL gives a slight boost to page rank, says google

w3master · Mar 1, 2016

Google has given a hint that all websites need to migrate to https from http:

It gives a light boost to the page rank , it might not have the weight of the quality content, yet any raise in page rank is good in terms of competition

Any other views are appreciated?

HTTP versus HTTPS has nothing to do with PageRank. PageRank is all about incoming links to a page. It has nothing to do with content or anything else happening on the page itself.

All the tests I have seen have had zero boost in rankings when changing from http to https.

Unless you need the SSL for secure transactions of some kind, it's a waste of money.

Hi,

I agree with SEOpub, I think too that this is a total waste of money. Until I see some hard evidence that SSL really impacts the ranking of a website in comparison with an HTTP, for the time being I am bit skeptical. Time will tell...

All the best!

SSl is like $1 with my webhost, worth it if you ask me, especially since Google's algo is always changing. It is actually good people don't think SSL makes a difference, all the better for me!

hello all

Its been a positive impact on google rank with https: yes very light but we have experienced the change in the rank with https: Its too early to comment whether it will impact or not:

This is the announcement google made.

We are pretty sure that the boosting in rank with https will be given more importance by the end of 2016: The more secure the websites are, the more healthy the customer vendor relations !!

And yes the cost of SSL is worth every penny to my website atleast!!
