HTTPS – SSL Certificates
The sites we visit most every day are secured by SSL Certificates (Facebook, Twitter, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, amazon, etc.). Google is pushing for websites to be more secure. They take into account whether a site has an SSL Certificate when determining where a site ranks in Google search results and is going out of their way to point out to site visitors when a site is not secure.
