Does HTTPS Affect Inbound Link Numbers?

[Ben_Alvord]

Hi All,

I'm dealing with an internal IT staff that is trying to change an entire site to run on HTTPS instead of HTTP.  The way they want things configured, all links pointing to HTTP URLs would redirect to the HTTPS.

I'm assuming this would adversely affect page rank/domain authority, etc... am I right there?

Thanks,

Ben

Ah, nevermind.  I found this other threads discussing the exact same thing.  Should have searched...
