Changed site to https now GWT and analytics - do I Know have to re-add it
-
Hi had the previous version (wordpress) site in GWT working just fine - now everything seems to have stopped. Do I have to treat this as an entirely new site and now add a new account for the https version?
Many thanks,

Nah moz is smart enough to auto detect the changes and adjust accordingly.
Make sure all your 301 redirect are in place and over a week or 2 moz should begin listing the https as google index's then and replaces your http.

OH that's great - does it still affect the MOZ crawl fo you know?

Afternoon,
You don't need a new account, you just have to add a new property.
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en log in and click on the red "add a new property button"
Set it up exactly the same as your http property. Verifying the new property should only take a second as the same google analytics code etc will still be active and working.
To make sure your analytics works properly ensure you update the GWT property it updates from in the analytics options

Hi
You will certainly have to update your profile in Search Console (Webmaster Tools) on both Google and Bing, most modern analytics can handle https without any change but if you have older code on the site you may have to update the script.
There is a really good post on switching to https here on the Moz blog that may help with other considerations you may have forgotten to check.

Hope this helps

Case study re-directing one site into another?
Hi there, We have access to a third party site that has high domain authority and we want to know if anyone has a case study demonstrating what happens when you 301-redirect a high DA site to another high DA site. In particular, we are wondering what kind of lift the site saw from the additional link equity?

Changing Domain Name
Hi all, A client has just got their .edu domain and they want to change their current domain name (a .com) to this new .edu domain. The domain's CMS is Wordpress. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but basically I will need to create a new site (but they want to keep current design), move everything across to the new domain name, and 301 URL per URL? What about all the citations that the old URLs have gotten? The website is listed on Google listings/maps for some of their local keywords. Is there anyway to preserve this? Thank you all in advance.

Https redirect
Hi there, a client of mine is asking me if Google would penalize to redirect from all the http urls to https (they want to change the security protocol). I assume it is going to work as a classic 301, right? so they might lose some authority in they way, but I am not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm this? does anyone has a similar experience? thanks a lot!
