Google has announced that the new, updated deadline for sites to convert to HTTPS is July of this year. After that, their browser, Chrome, will begine prominently warning users if a site that they visit is insecure.

I’m a social media manager, and I think that Google Ads advertising is more effective than Facebook. There…I said it. While other social media managers plot my imminent demise, I’ll use these last few minutes of my life to explain why.

The +1 button is part of Google’s new social recommendation system, and there’s been quite a lot of discussion on how much impact it will have on search results. According to a mail we received from our Google liaison the other day […]
