    Hi guys,
    Quick question. Can all the major search bots such as googlebot and slurp read encrypted pages which use SSL?

    Thanks Liam, I was unclear if they could read SSL pages.
    Thanks again.

    No problem, if you search for something like
    "you are now on our secure server", "these pages are encrypted" etc, you will find results that are https.
