Google just announced it will boost the ranking of sites that use secure and encrypted connections. This is part of Googleâs efforts to push âHTTPS everywhereâ on the web.
Re: Google now factoring HTTPS support into search ranking
Yes, noticed that was discussing that with someone earlier. Currently it’s a minor signal but that could easily change.
There are issues with it though that I think a lot of porn sites will have to look into, like how to serve videos securely… if you need to do it at all. How do you encrypt RTMP?
Re: Google now factoring HTTPS support into search ranking
I’m quite sure that just having a ssl certificate on your tour, login and join pages is enough.
I can’t see why encrypting rtmp streams would affect google ranking.
Just use https on the domain itself, that should be enough.

Because if you’re serving up a page with a videos stream on it, or any other external resource form for example a subdomain, they also have to have a SSL. So if a stream is not secure, it will make the page fail… Or that’s my understand after speaking to a programmer. But I’m not 100% sure and would love to know.
Re: Google now factoring HTTPS support into search ranking
That’s correct anything external and the page would fail.
There’s RTMP over TLS/SSL but that’s apparently a resource hog. Adobe developed RTMPE, which wraps the RTMP session in a light weight encryption layer. But that’s said not to totally secure.
