Is both HTTP and HTTPS should be verified in Webmaster Tools

Ryan Rajpoot

I am struggling to get solution of issue which i am currently facing. Lately, we have upgraded our website with SSL and redirected the entire site from http to https with all urls. The site is currently added to Google Webmaster Tools as www.pnrstatusbuzz.in and all the pages are indexed without using SSL. Do I just submit a updated sitemap which has the HTTPS URLs or Do I add a new site as https://www.pnrstatusbuzz.in and submit the sitemap with HTTPS urls?

You need to submit all version of your sites and also you need to submit sitemap of preferred version of your site.

Hi Ryan,

As google itself handles request redirection from HTTP to HTTPS, so updated sitemap with updated HTTPS URL sitemap would be fine.

Thank you,

Deepak

Google does detect most of the upgrades in the SSL and non-SSL version of your websites, but in my own opinion it is a better way to automatically submit the updates to Google. The Google's method of detecting this is a bit slow, and only happens when their spiders and crawlers are crawling the Internet.
Since the domain names are not changed, just the protocol scheme, in this case the data must not be lost. But it is better to submit the website as your own, using the data that was provided on the previous site.

If you want to keep both of these websites, you can set up a cross-domain tracking to track your both versions of domain name, that can be done through Google Analytics admin panel read more here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18295196/best-way-to-handle-https-http-www-and-no-www-with-google-analytics
