https across entire site

[dberry]

are there any drawacks to using https across the entire site? I'm running a standard community website with classifieds, biz directory, coupons, local web search, blogs, etc...

Thanks,
Daniel

there are no drawbacks as far as website performance and usage. If you are interested in PageRank from Google though, pagerank will not display using https

Thank you for the reply. This site is just a local thing, so hopefully the google pagerank won't affect me much. I'll have to rely on my good looks and charm (lol) to drive people to the site.

I chose to run the SSL and Non-SSL out of the same directory, so it is alot easier for me to just make the whole thing SSL, but wasn't sure if that would create any performance / security issues. Thanks!
