SSL for the entire site?
-
Hej,
I wonder if anyone can recommend to make the entire site using SSL? Are there any negative aspects to make a whole site SSL encrypted?
I'm using the Wordpress CMS and for the moment I've limited the SSL for the contact forms.Thanks in advance

You'll need to be running Apache with mod_ssl or Nginx with http_ssl_module enabled (And SPDY if you want), and you'll need to have 443 port enabled. Of course, you'll need to properly configure your VirtualHost(s) with a valid SSL certificate installed. Then you can simply change your "Wordpress Address" and "Site Address" in your Wordpress "Settings"-->"General" from http:// to https://.

Hope that helps!

Backlink From Different Language Sites Will Spoil My Ranking?
Hi there! Excited to joining this community. The main question is that if I get backlinks from different language sites then that backlink will be worthy or non-worthy in the eye of search engine? I know if I target international market by presenting my content in different languages then of course it will be worthwhile for me. But what will be happened if I do not represent content in different languages on my site but get the backlines from other language sites such as: Chinese, Russian or any other? Also I have seen many sites which are getting backlinks from different language sites and they are just getting high authority. Is there any expert?

Site migration 301's list on Apache server - when do I take the old migrated URLs off our 301 list?
Howdy! The site was migrated last year to a new platform, therefore the URLs were migrated over using 301 redirect rules. Since then, the server has a huuuuge list of rules for URLs and I wanted to know when can we start taking these off of the list? And, how can I test to see if they are still indexing, do I simply just add the url to the google search bar? Thanks Guys! Kay

Multilingual site (rel="alternate" hreflang="x")
Hi there, We have a multilingual site with same content translated into different languages. Some are also in different countries with same language. The issue with our site is that international Google SERP shows our US site before their own country/language site. In order to resolve this issue, we implemented the following rel="alternate" hreflang="x" across all locales: After testing these out, our US site still shows up on search results in other countries (checked after 2 months). Are we missing something here? Our guess is that it's not working because we are missing canonical tags or meta language code (). Thanks in advance.
