I think AdSense used to warn of possibly lower earnings when switching to HTTPS, because somehow less ads are available over HTTPS. Is that still the case?


I've switched a handful of sites from http to https over the past 7 months and the drop of adsense earnings has been negligible.


Same scenario here (author of the original post): moving from HTTP to HTTPs did hurt my revenue for the first couple of months (I switched 2 years ago), but advertisers seem to have caught up.

For tech-oriented sites, I don't see a difference in revenue for HTTP vs HTTPs sites anymore. In fashion or other markets, that may still be a different deal.


Despite being 2016, Bing can't read a ssl sitemap served on HTTPS sni. Supposed to be fixed soon I guess...


Thanks, that sounds encouraging!
