Onsite seo for https | Seo of https urls

On Page Issues

• Make sure, the robots.txt is only valid if placed within the same protocol as the site. Place it within the https protocol.
• Make sure, the sitemap.xml, Google verification file, and the other stuff is only valid if placed within the same protocol as the site. Place it within the https protocol.
• Make sure & keep all your files (images, iframes, etc) within the https protocol.
• Https sites are more work for the servers, so there is the possibility of a slower download. Keep your site and the certificate on a high performance host. If it takes too long to download a site Googlebot might go bye bye. Now days site speed is a ranking factor.
• http VS https should have no effect on analytics or SEO.

the only things that will effect search engine indexing are:
- pages disallowed in robots.txt
- pages with 'noindex' meta tag
- pages with external links of 'nofollow'
- pages behind a secure login

So, hypothetically... if your HTTPS pages are behind a secure login, the spiders won't be able to get to them.
