Will Google index a site which forces HTTPS or SSL?

We are having problems getting Google to index our site. We decided it was easiest to just use https for the entire site.

Do we need to change it so that the anonymous, "pub开发者_Python百科lic", areas of the site are not encrypted for them to be indexed?

Yes, they'll index https just fine. Remember that https is a transport protocol to ensure that folks in the middle of the wire can't eavesdrop (. . . as easily . . . ) or muck w /the traffic.

They will not index password protected portions, of course.

They do. Here's another references: http://www.google.com/search?q=mdc+javascript First result is an https address

Yes, they will.

Example search: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22SSL+Certificates+-+Secure+Your+Data+%26+Transactions%22+site%3Agodaddy.com

You should see a result indicating the URL is "https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp".
