Adding the code is fairly easy; just need to know which template file to edit depending on where the code should be placed on the page.  Usually they will tell you to either put it in the <head> for before the <body> and that will determine which template file.

not to be a smart ass or anything - but you gotta get comfortable with it. The only true way to know how something is done is to try it yourself and see what happens. As long as you have a backup of your files and database, then no need to worry about messing anything up.

 This code goes in your templates  /template/tmpl_whatever/_footer.html    If your template does not have that file, copy it from the /templates/base folder   Your _footer.html file will then look like below: (suggest putting the analytics code in the same place.

 

       <bx_injection:injection_footer />

<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)

It is done.

As for the H1 and H2 tags, I still doubt if google places such importance on HTML markup as to lower the ranking of a website.  I believe original content is one of the top things for ranking.  I know that new content determines how often google crawls a site.

 Google is changing the ranking rules again starting next month. if a website is slow onload or just slow in general it ranks down. if site is not secure it ranks down.. and some other new things they will start to use.

you can read it in the news on ranking features of google.

 Yep...SSL sellers should gear up ;)

Not every site needs to be secure.  I don't do any sort of transactions on my blogging site so why should I be penalised for not having SSL?

The only thing I can think of is this. If a user is looking for something, they may feel more comfortable with a site that has SSL thus those listings would get higher rankings.

 Its google logic and somewhat makes sense. A site which cares for user's security should be rewarded a bit.

Is google in the certificate business now?  That is the only way it would make sense to me.  My blog serves up static pages for people to read, it does not need to be going through a secure connection.  Readers are not logging on to read my blog; no worries about passwords being stolen.

I am not sure about google business plans, and its still not decided if this will happen (even in 2014) but you don't have to worry, the content will always be the king. Google isn't going to hate your site or drop you do the last page of the result, they will just give little more love to the SSLed sites, simple.

It really is, now so easy to add a SSL certificate 3 year $149 at GoDaddy and you have to change code in one place in Dolphin and that is it.  I am thinking that security has been talked about so much with the ACAct that it has been a topic of discussion with millions of people including Congress.  Personal thoughts are people want to know when they sign up that their information will not be compromised.  

Google is trying to help webmaster people make that decision...IMHOLaughing

Thats a good point. SSLs are no big deal these days. No more dedicated IP or anything complex. A basic SSL can be as cheap as 5 bucks a year, i don't see many points for not giving a secure site for your users, specially when NSA is spying around Foot in Mouth

But when Google says secure do they mean having an SSL or do they mean really SECURE. All these big sites that have had data breaches all have SSL and that means nothing except certain data is encrypted between your PC and their servers.. which isn't how all these crooks are stealing it anyway. 

 

To the original poster, if you aren't comfortable working on your site you are going to need DEEP pockets because it's going to require constant attention.

Basically security from eavesdropping and other methods of spying on the user on what he/she is browsing, or spam stuff (excluding standing behind their back and watch their monitors).

Those data breaches are generally application loopholes and stuff which has nothing to do how the data is transmitted.

Oh, and thanks for making me feel guilty to make this topic completely off topic.

Cant you create your own SSL certificate - albeit won't be from some big name company.

 Yes, you can but that will just give red scary warning in the browsers of your users and scare them away.

Self-signed certificates can be useful; I created one to use with postfix; still not quite sure of the process either as I got it wrong the first time.  However, I think self-signed certificates can throw up a warning to the user.  Some hosting providers will offer certificates that can be used.  However, I am running a dedicated.  I guess I may need to look into this.

 For us, we also have database encryption - with an offsite key. So even if someone were to get past the physical security of the data center and steal our server, all the user/member info is encrypted and looks like garbage.

But when Google says secure do they mean having an SSL or do they mean really SECURE. All these big sites that have had data breaches all have SSL and that means nothing except certain data is encrypted between your PC and their servers.. which isn't how all these crooks are stealing it anyway.

 Interesting point when you think of so many security breaches on high profile sites like Facebook, etc. I can't see them being penalized too much can you? ;)  Googles sites are secure for sure....you're lucky if you can get in your OWN account without them creating a new account for you. I think they really need to sort out their syncing problems. Anyway, it will only be one area & not have too bigger impact. I think to much emphasis is put on Google ranking personally.
