1. I agree with this criticism of Neil Patel, and the things written about why SSL matters.
2. Neil Patel does not speak for all SEOs :) ...I've read several comments from other SEOs who strongly disagree with what he said.
3. JFC, people, stop linking to his site. Links are currency--it does not matter to him, big picture, if the link is framed by a sentence that says "this person is an idiot." Links only help increase his authority and ability to reach new people.
- overcast 9y agoThe redirection of https to http on neilpatel.com is amazing. That's something I've never seen in my life.
- heinrich5991 9y agoReally? Another popular example is https://store.steampowered.com/ https://store.steampowered.com/.
- StavrosK 9y agoJesus christ...
- ceejayoz 9y agoHoly crap, I've never noticed that. They 2FA me on every login and then do that?!
- overcast 9y agoI've always used the app :/ that's disappointing.
- mschuster91 9y agoLol they're HTTPS on the login form but plain HTTP immediately after... what a joke? That invites people to do cred fishing on bigger LAN parties or conferences...
- seanwilson 9y agoYeah...you could just replace the HTTP landing page with your own containing your own login form.
- StavrosK 9y agoIt took me a minute of browsing around the site and then coming back here to ask, before I realized that you're saying they're redirecting httpS to PLAIN http. Wow.
- Sleeep 9y agoI've actually seen it a few times myself but I don't have any examples offhand. My company's filter is lazy so it doesn't filter https traffic. Sometimes if I get a blocked site that's http I try the URL with https instead. Once in a while I get a redirect to http.
- paulgb 9y ago> JFC, people, stop linking to his site. Links are currency Hear, hear! This applies to just about everything people get outraged about these days: making people outraged on the internet is a business model that works. If you don't like that, ignore the things that outrage you instead of taking the bait.
- Sleeep 9y agoI like what Brian Krebs does. He doesn't link to any sites, he shows screenshots and says "this was posted by user paulgb on news[dot]ycombinator[dot]com."
