Google Will Display HTTP websites As Insecure

@CCarter, thanks for verification!

Wouldn't it be easier to just run a few cheap shared hosting accounts and register the domains private through different sources than trusting the CDN to hide it.

Does anybody ever run a PBN of sites that stand alone would be a solid brand? Or is it all spammed sites with GSA links and other garbage.

I may be going at this differently but, I was thinking of creating another similar vertical site and linking to my main site but, I intend it to be a legit site on its own. I just thought maybe I could benefit from linking them if Google didn't pick up that they were on the same hosting.

Here is the reality - I was able to find IPs with 2 scripts in under 5 mins. If you are trying to hide from Google, a registrar, that you own these websites which are linking together, I don't think you guys are comprehending the power Google has OR you guys are simply underestimating Google - it's one or the other.

I also don't want to touch on this topic because when I say to do X, Y, and Z, most people just do Z and 1/2 Y and can't figure out why they screwed up.

If you REALLY want to link your website together make sure the website sending the outbound link has between 30 to 1000 daily visitors on the website beforehand - a good chunk coming from Google. Google won't de-index a website it has already determined to be valuable enough for it to send it traffic.

All the websites that get de-index - "coincidentally" don't have traffic... HMMM... Think about it. If your website (PBN site or parasite) doesn't deserve traffic - why does Google need it in it's index?

Please no PMs, I will ignore them all.
 
Haha no PM's from me. I'm taking the Ryuzaki course and making an actual brand. PBNs are interesting but don't seem worth it. Me linking my actual brands won't violate any Google policy, just wont pass as much pagerank as an undetected related link.

I'm not really looking to try Google, I know they figure most shit out but, hypothetically and just for fun, I have 2 separate domains, one registered publicly, the other private, one on Godaddy, the other on Hover, two separate hosting platforms, no common CDN, no gmail, no GA, no GSC, one wordpress, the other flat file, both establish traffic, where is Google going to draw the connection? Block bots from htaccess, not robots.txt so nobody can use common link profile tools to figure out my network and realize that I'm blocking them from doing so. In order to trace footprints, I would imagine you would need more than one similar step.
 
It looks like Google will be essentially forcing all sites to move to HTTPS going forward. If you're using Chrome and navigate to a site not using HTTPS, you will soon start to see a warning that he site is considered "Not Secure."

As you can imagine...not cool for us SEO site owners.

Here's a write up from WordFence on the topic: https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/01/chrome-56-ssl-https-wordpress/
 
Just to clarify...

So, once again, starting on approximately January 31st of this month, any page on your website that is non-HTTPS and has a password form or credit card field will be labeled as “Not secure” in the location bar by Google Chrome.
 
Good catch. I missed that detail.

I gotta imagine this is still just a stepping stone towards pushing everyone to https, though.

Such a critical detail missed out by nearly everyone.
 
should be

if you really really wanted to there are ways to asteriks a field without using the password fied

but its probably easyier just to get a ssl
 
Whats everyones thoughts on changing a well ranking website from http to https if it is not required? I'm torn as it could benefit since most competitors won't be doing it but all links are built to http.
 
@regl8r I work at an agency so a little bit different, but we are in the process of converting all of our clients to SSL. We are working our way from the lower performing sites to our ranking sites. In the last 2 weeks I have converted 9 sites. As the index https version is swapped out in the SERPs we are seeing some small bumps up and large bumps.The small bumps are form KW on page 2-3 which will jump 3-5 spots. KW on pages 3-10 we have seen some jumps as great as 15 spots.

I don't have numbers in front of me, but I would say 80% of our KW either moved up or stayed flat. 10% have fallen less then 5 spots and the remaining 10% have fallen 10 or more spots.

Over all I have been slightly surprised at how well the sites have been performing. This is only 2 weeks old, so I think there will still be some fluctuation in the next 2-4 weeks before everything levels out.

The one surprising thing is how fast the SSL versions get swapped out. I did a site last Friday, which was a little under 100 pages and over 60% of those pages have been changed to SSL version in the SERPs.
