My problem with HTTPS is Google: They push it on every front, but - for various reasons - consider HTTPS and HTTP different pages, meaning you do not get link juice from any HTTP links if you're site is HTTPS only.
(1. don't listen to people telling you otherwise, it's an expensive experiment 2. redirects do not transfer all the juice, they count as links themselves, from my experience it's like not having external links to your site at all 3. If you do not depend on Google b/c you're SaaS, go for HTTPS only)
- rocky1138 14y agoWhere are you getting the data that you don't get Google juice for HTTP-to-HTTPS links?
- Uchikoma 14y agoFrom first hand experience. Then lately there was a discussion on /r/seo I currently can't find with a link to Matt Cutts who said redirects are handled the way links transfer juice. [edit] People extrapolate that 301 are different because Google tells them to use 301 when moving pages.
