Google Encourages Websites To Adopt HTTPS For Better Ranking

google_door_reuters There is some more reason  to  celebrate for website  developers as Google  has  taken an initiative to ensure  security for those people  who  visit these  sites.  Google will be using a site  encryption to resolve the  ranking of search  results.

different website developers are being urged by Google to adopt HTTPS, which is a type of website encryption, and it helps in securing online data. User data will also have sufficient shelter from hackers. The search engine giant posted a blog on Wednesday saying, “Over the past few months we’ve been running tests taking into account whether sites use secure, encrypted connections as a signal in our search ranking algorithms.” There is always a tough competition going on between developers to get the highest ranking in search results. As this site encryption will now bang on these ranking results, most websites are likely to follow the norms to ensure their visitors’ security.

A user shared his personal views on this blog post as, “Without knowing about the technical details behind this move; as a code I find it excellent.” Google has further added that this security factor is not the most important one in determining a site’s ranking but with time its pressure is expected to raise higher. Google also said, “We hope to see more websites using HTTPS in the future.”
