But there is certainly a benefit from a conversion POV if you are selling online, etc.

I’m familiar with this when I’m logging into a secured page as most of us are, but not searching.

A long time ago I was taught that if you have SSL that it helps with your search engine rankings. Is this still a helpful thing to do or a waste of money? Which verified badges do you recommend to help search engines recognize that your site is valid?

I’ll start using https://www.google.com more often now.

I think it’s a very good idea but why Google doesn’t think and use it before ?
In the future, it has to be extended to all Google projects for securing people. Nowadays the “s” has a real impact on the user experience.
To be continued…

Source: http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/06/update-on-encrypted-web-search-in.html

“We’re working hard to address this issue as quickly as possible and in a few weeks we will move encrypted search to a new hostname – so schools can limit access to SSL search without disrupting other Google services….”

This is really encouraging.
