I've read the FAQs and searched the help center.
My URL is: VIEW NIGERIA - Nigeria's 8th Most Read News Platform

Hello Everyone,

Let me put it this way, I just bought a SSL certificate for my blog at (https://www.viewngr.com) but only the http:// is index, i dont know if i should submit another site this way ( https://www.viewngr.comsitemap.xml ) for index since i have (http://www.viewngr.com/sitemap.xml ) submitted. The different is the HTTPS and HTTP

Please someone that understand me, please should give answer and to what i can do.

I did this following the Google Recent HTTPS update

Thanks.. will be glad to see answers

  • https is not going to make one iota of difference for your site.

    I have no idea why people jumped on this as some magic wand.

    You never have to submit anything to google.


    First a 301 redirect. But as far as https, literally everything on your
    site needs to be changed to https. If your site is huge with a lot of
    scripts, images, etc., that's a daunting task for someone with zero
    knowledge if it's not setup automatically. Contact your host or someone.

    I am laughing a little, because I can imagine a lot of people scrambled to
    get an https, then kept other links on the site unsecure. And that is
    a disaster....

    Fight the urge to https unless yoou absolutely positively need to do it.
    Then hire someone to make the change.

  • Google will index your secured URL version without any action from your part, but you need to redirect the http version to the https to avoid duplication.
