2:03p	Google boosting sites that use HTTPS Google has announced that it is starting to look favorably on sites that use HTTPS. "We’ve seen positive results, so we’re starting to use HTTPS as a ranking signal.

But over time, we may decide to strengthen it, because we’d like to encourage all website owners to switch from HTTP to HTTPS to keep everyone safe on the web." (Comment on this)
