Selected answers from the Dumb SEO Questions Facebook & G+ community.

  • Tony Franze: Do the one that you are using for your site. With https
  • George G.: Verify it on dns level. This will verify all versions.
  • Dahlian R. Lamy: Here`s what Google says... "If your site supports multiple protocols (http and https), you must add a separate property for each protocol. Similarly, if you support multiple subdomains (such as example.com, m.example.com, and www.example.com) you must add a separate property for each subdomain."

    So, you can do like George suggested above OR you can add each web property individually...
    http://example.com
    http://www.example.com
    https://example.com
    https://www.example.com

    One will be your website`s URL and then make sure that you set up the other three to redirect the website`s URL.

  • Nicky Branco: Dahlian R. Lamy thanks you so much but I’m a newbie and if I was experienced then what you just said would make sense of all the technical jargon lol so really it needs to be said to me in layman terms or else I’ve then another issue I’ve got to go figure out all the other stuff you just said to resolve this one thing lol which if it was put to me without the tech talk and more you do this this and this I think I could then understand lol
  • Dahlian R. Lamy: Hi Nicky, do you mind tell me your domain name?
  • David Morgan: You should do just the domain. Don`t do the www. It`s only going to make your uphill climb steeper.
