I just installed a new SSL certificate on one of my sites, also I've redirected the entire traffic to use https instead of http. What will happen with my current Google page rank ? It will be transferred to the "new" https version or I will have a split page rank one for the http and one for the https version ?

Thanks

If you use a permanent redirection 301, google will keep the rank, but if your redirecting temporarily, then it will split them. so make sure you're using 301 redirection.

  • Thanks. I've used "Redirect permanent / https://...." from one of the Apache config files. Will this automatically include 301 or do I need to do something else ? – JeanC Aug 09 '14 at 21:32
  • I guess it does. I've checked from the Webmaster's tools and when I fetch as Google I see an: "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" on the first line. I've accepted your answer (can't upvote you because I don't have 15 points). – JeanC Aug 09 '14 at 21:36
