I have not already 301'd the site to https. But either url works since I turned on the ssl at my host.

I will check into the Cloudflare.

So you recommend just going forward with the https switch even though I have not done all the things on the checklist?

I may have made a mess for myself. I turned on the ssl a couple of weeks ago (2-3) but didn't do the other things first. Should i remove the ssl from my site until I go through the checklist? I am starting to panic, hoping i have not gotten myself into big trouble.

My internal links, ads, canonical urls all still use http.

Thank you

Thanks James. I don't have a CMS. My pages are all hand coded html pages. (would dearly love to switch to a cms in the future since i have over 100 pages). Does your advice change in anyway?

If I have 4 versions of my site

http://www
http://
https://www
https://

What is the best way to redirect without losing seo positions? i have been mainly using http://www but have recently added my ssl so https works also. I heard at Moz Con that I should get the https working.

All of my marketing and ads are going to http://www

301 redirect 3 of them? Which 3? If https is becoming important, should that be my main url? will it hurt my seo to switch?

Thank you so much in advance!

I love the keyword tool for giving me direction and helping to prioritize. My question:

Once I have the prioritized keywords, do you recommend having a page for each of the top keywords, using the keyword as the page name? Or is it better to sprinkle the keywords into existing pages?

Thank you.

The reason is that I need to update my website and that seems like an easy way to do it. My business partner can easily add content once I am finished. I do not want to use wordpress or joomla. I like that i can still keep the .html on my pages. The e-commerce part of it is so fabulously easy.

Yes, I would 301 to my own domain. I would not use the .weebly.com in my domain name.

I understand the design/ftp limitations but my main question is about SEO. Is it risky to 301 my domain over to weebly?

I am thinking of moving my html website to weebly. They offer a 301 redirect for my domain name. Is that ok for SEO?
