Google rank of secure Website being penalized because of worldsecuresystems.com

[jvfrance10]

My website's Google Rank is being penalized because of https://hopegatesoftware.worldsecuresystems.com domain ending of worldsecuresystems.com instead of hopegatesoftware.com. This penalization is now part of the Google Ranking Algorithm. How do I get a https of hopegatesoftware.com?

HI there,

Lots of discussion on this.

Firstly in terms of https  No its not. Google outlined an intention and will factor of les then 1%.

In terms of your domain showing up it is because of how you have the site set up and linked - others do not have the issue when they setup. Things you can do with webmaster tools, canonical etc in place. BC have a robots.txt denial on worldsecuresystems.com as well.

You can search the forums and find lots of threads on both topics.

Liam is correct, you would assume with BC being an Adobe product google would class the domain worldsecuresystems.com as a payment / auth gateway and rank your website accordingly, just the same way as redirecting a customer to paypal.com for payment does not hurt your website.

Worldsecuresystems.com has no real association with Adobe, its a domain setup by BC back in the day. It does have its security certificate and It probably sits on the Amazon S3 in the US with the BC stuff there these days I would guess. So in that sense, the envelope would probably be the same, your right. But that is not realy the factor.

Its more that this intention is something google will look to do at a very low rate. Google like others would just like a world on https, But as I have said in other threads. All the recent big hacks and issues have actually all been through https and https and SSL vulnerabilities, lol.
