Website Q - SSL certificate?
Does it make sense to purchase an annual SSL certificate if you do not sell anything on your website? I believe that certificate is security for Credit Card customer, which I have none. Thanks ...

Google has adjusted its ranking for searches based on sites with or without SSL. While I agree with your thoughts. If you are hosting it for your own personal use, don't bother - at least I don't. Our business website wasn't SSL until recently as we hand off our sales to another site that did have SSL, but we were advised to make the change. Most hosts will do it for free depending on the level of service you are paying for.
Agree, unless you are trying to improve your rankings or selling on the site wouldn't worry about it. With that said. Many hosts now offer SSL as part of the hosting package. So easy to do if you want to make the change.
