We are having problems getting Google to index our site. We decided it was easiest to just use https for the entire site.
Do we need to change it so that the anonymous, "public", areas of the site are not encrypted for them to be indexed?
The new default for Google's outlook on the internet includes encryption – a secure connection (HTTPS) is required, no longer a feature only for online banking and shopping sites.
HTTP basically allows unauthorized people to tap into your computer and steal all of your valuable information. Google wants to avoid that by strongly encouraging the shift to HTTPS.
Yes, they'll index https just fine. Remember that https is a transport protocol to ensure that folks in the middle of the wire can't eavesdrop (. . . as easily . . . ) or muck w /the traffic.
They will not index password protected portions, of course.
They do. Here's another references: http://www.google.com/search?q=mdc+javascript First result is an https address
Yes, they will.
Example search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22SSL+Certificates+-+Secure+Your+Data+%26+Transactions%22+site%3Agodaddy.com
You should see a result indicating the URL is "https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp
".
