My entire site is secure One makes there way there via a redirect upon getting to the site. is this a problem for SEO given that all of the links ive created thus far lead to the http and NOT https? my site can be found at www.internetce.com Any help is a big help! Many thanks!
your site is doing a 302 redirect. Should be a 301 redirect. If you're not accepting credit cards, there's no real reason to do secure at all. But shouldn't be an issue with a 301 redirect. Maybe someone here can say how to do this on a Windows server - I'm Unix only ...
Typically, you ONLY make pages that NEED to be secure use https. This would include login pages where users might be entering a username and password, forms where people may be entering confidential personal info like SSN, or checkout pages if you have an ecommerce site where people might be entering personally and financial info like credit card numbers. All other pages on the site should generally be accessed using the http (non-secure) protocol. You should have enforcement code (i.e. 301 redirects) in place to enforce the correct protocol for the various pages on your site so that a single page doesn't get indexed both ways creating URL canonicalization issues (and duplicate content and split PR/link juice issues).
Understood. While I think the 301 is a good idea short term, I believe it needs to be exactly what you said and put only nbehind user entered fields.. Many thanks
