SSl and SEO

[unikey]

Does the type of SSL used on a site have any significance to trust and seo ranking?

[TomRayner]

I very much doubt it.  So long as the SSL certificate is genuine and from a reputable source, that should do the trick.

Really, we're still waiting to see whether SSL is in fact having a positive impact on rankings.  Despite what Google's claimed, it's too early to tell without a few more weeks/months data.  However, if you're going to make the change or start a new site with SSL from the outset, using a reputable SSL certificate provider will provide all of the trust and SEO benefit you need (if and when that comes).

Hope this helps.

Completely agree with every point Tom made here.
