Secure Search Takes Over – The End of Search As We Know It
It's the day that most SEO practitioners have been fearing, the day when Google would finally make our jobs a lot harder (as if they don't do that already). Secure Search, the bane of SEO I spoke about before, has finally taken over and now practically all organic search traffic appears in Google Analytics (or Clicky if you're one of the enlightened ones) as "Secure Search" or "Not Provided" - a real pain.

Google Plus has numerous benefits for your SEO campaign and I think it's time to highlight them so you can get busy on Google Plus (if you're not already that is).
