There is a reason those guys actively denounce SSL. They use snip.ly and other tools that hijack the clicks from their social media references with an overlay to promote their products. The users see the WSJ or NYT article they clicked on with a free ad for the person who shared it underneath (possibly data too). Those overlays don't work over SSL pages.
