Basically an SSL is proof that you are who you say you are. It provides a guarantee to the visitor that you are not pretending to be someone else and it’s safe to do business with you. A site with an SSL cert has https:// in front of their web address.
It’s becoming more and more normal for everyday websites to have an SSL as most websites have contact forms and hackers can take details from these and use elsewhere. With an SSL this is not possible.
We have also read that Google believe in ALL WEBSITES using SSL Certs. It could mean that to make this happen they will place a small amount of weight in their ranking equation to websites with SSL’s and hence it could actually negatively affect your search engine ranking by not having one… or vice versa it can help improve your ranking by intsalling.
