      I have a site that does a 301 redirect from http to https

      I currently have a sitemap auto submitted to google webmaster tools using the http pages. (because i didnt have https before)

      should I disable that sitemap for http and create one for the https only?

        shouldn't make a huge difference as long as you have one-site map (in this case) and the urls are all the same - i.e. all http or https addresses you should have no issues.

        • though your last line makes me ask if you have two sitemaps, in which case ... why? and do they link to your site in one as http and the other https ? in which case yes get rid of one in favour of the url you want to use.

        • Do you still loose 15% of value of inbound links when you redirect your site from http to https (so all inbound links to http are being redirected to https version)?

        • I have a site that has both http:// and https:// versions indexed, e.g. https://www.homepage.com/ and http://www.homepage.com/. How do I de-index the https// versions without losing the link juice that is going to the https://homepage.com/ pages?
