Is your website secure? If you don’t use HTTPS, Google says it’s not – and starting this July, it will inform your audience of this fact.
HTTP vs HTTPS
What difference does a single letter make? When it comes to HTTP versus HTTPS, the difference is security.
When you go to a website, the web address (also called the URL) starts with a protocol. This will generally either be HTTP or HTTPS. You don’t have to type it into the browser to go to the website, but once you’re there, you’ll see the protocol at the beginning of the address. Just look at the top of your internet browser now for an example.
HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, while HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure. HTTPS uses encryption to protect the information being shared. It prevents hackers from stealing data. This is especially important when sending and receiving payments, but the extra security can improve all interactions. With all the data breaches making the news and the constant risk of identity theft, people want to be reassured that their privacy is being protected.
The New Chrome Browser Warns Users
Google is releasing an updated version of its Chrome browser called Chrome 68. The new browser is being released in July 2018. One important change included in the update impacts the way users see HTTP versus HTTPS sites.
Chrome 68 will include a label in the top left corner, right next to the URL. For HTTP sites, the label will warn users that the site is “Not secure.”
According to the Google Security Blog, this change is part of an ongoing effort to make the internet more secure by using HTTPS. More than two-thirds of Chrome traffic on Android and Windows are currently protected with HTTPS.
Would You Risk Your Privacy with Sites Marked “Not Secure”?
Imagine you’re searching the internet. You see a link that looks interesting, so you click. You’re immediately warned that the site is not secure. Do you stay on the site, or do you immediately click away?
If you’re like a lot of people, there’s a good chance you’ll get scared and leave the site. Even if you stay on the site, you might think twice before leaving a comment, entering your information in a contact form or doing anything else that could compromise your privacy.
If you have a website, you want to keep users on your site long enough to learn about your company and the services or products it offers. But if you’re using HTTP, you could be sending Chrome users running away from your site and to your competitor’s site.
Chrome users are not a small subset of internet users, either. According to data from NetMarketShare, Chrome is now the most popular internet browser – by a long shot. Chrome has more than 60 percent of the browser market share on both desktop/laptop and mobile devices.
In other words, if you’re still using HTTP after Chrome 68 rolls out, the majority of the users will receive the warning that your site isn’t secure.
Switch Your Site to HTTPS.
To transfer your site from HTTP to HTTPS, you need an SSL certificate installed on the server where your website is hosted. There is usually an annual cost, such as $59. Visit your website hosting company (such as GoDaddy, Network Solutions or HostGator) to learn more.
Bagi PSK, melayani pria hidung belang adalah salah satu wujud profesionalitas. Tak peduli bagaimana situasi mereka, terkecuali mau uang kudu mau melayani pria hidung belang.
Di salah satu kawasan di Puncak, Bogor, Jawa Barat, banyak PSK yang tengah hamil atau baru melahirkan tetapi selamanya bekerja melayani pria. Bahkan mereka dipesan khusus oleh sejumlah pria yang mengidamkan nikmati sensasi terkait seks bersama wanita hamil atau nikmati ASI.
Rata-rata PSK di kawasan ini menentukan menambahkan susu formula untuk bayinya sebab cemas payudara mengendur. ASI yang mereka hasilkan justru dinikmati oleh pria pelanggan yang mengidamkan sensasi berbeda.
Untuk perlihatkan kabar tersebut, kumparan menelusuri sejumlah lokalisasi di kawasan Puncak. Penelusuran di awali pada Jumat (7/9) bersama melacak keterangan dari para pedagang di sekitar lokasi.
Di seberang jalan tempat kita berdiri, tampak seorang pria bertopi putih duduk di depan warung kelontong sambil menghisap rokok. Dia mengobrol asyik bersama pria lain yang duduk di sampingnya.
"Itu calo," ujar salah satu warga.
Benar saja, disaat memasuki gang tersebut ke-2 pria itu segera menghampiri dan berlomba-lomba tawarkan jasa sewa kamar.
Singkat cerita, melalui jasa calo, kita berhasil berjumpa PSK yang tengah hamil tua dan masih melayani pelanggan. Dia bersedia diwawancara bersama nama yang disamarkan.
"Ada (PSK) mas, sebentar aku jemput ke mes dulu," ujar calo tersebut.

Tak lama sesudah itu PSK itu datang. Sebut saja namanya Ana. Badannya padat memuat bersama rambut panjang lurus digerai ke belakang. Dia mengenakan jaket dan celana tiga perempat motif army.
Meski hamil 8 bulan, Ana selamanya melayani pelanggan agar pemasukan tidak berkurang. Dia terhitung tengah menabung untuk ongkos persalinan nanti.
"Masih (kerja), ya kan buat ongkos lahiran juga," ujar Ana mengawali pembicaraan.
Usianya baru 18 tahun tetapi telah menjadi PSK sejak 2 tahun yang lalu. Kala itu dia ditinggalkan oleh suaminya, selanjutnya memutuskan menjadi PSK. Ana tak jelas sama juga anak siapa yang saat ini tengah ia kandung.
If you want to build an audience and get seen on Twitter, you need to use hashtags. They’re how users who don’t already follow you can find your tweets – but only if you pick the right term. There’s an art to choosing hashtags.
1. Pick hashtags that people actually use.
You want people to search the hashtag and see your tweet. If you pick a hashtag no one uses, this isn’t going to happen.
Of course, you can create a new hashtag and convince people to start using it. Coca-Cola did this with #ShareaCoke and a new emoticon.
The strategy can work very well, but it’s also the type of campaign that takes a lot of time and energy. To be successful, it’s helpful if you already have a large audience and pair the new hashtag with something that will attract a lot of attention, like a giveaway or a call for fun user photos. If your only goal is to get eyes on an individual tweet, stick to hashtags that are already popular.
HubSpot put together a list of the 58 hashtags that produce the most user engagement – in the form of likes and retweets – on Twitter. These hashtags are a great place to start.
You can also use the site Hashtagify to search for hashtags and see how they rank in terms of popularity.
2. Pay attention to trending hashtags.
Another way to find popular hashtags is to see what’s trending. Hashtags can trend for a variety of reasons.
Sometimes trending hashtags are tied to current news events. These topics can be politically charged, but some are more lighthearted. When a raccoon climbed a skyscraper in St. Paul, Minnesota, #mprraccoon trended for more than a day while people everywhere watched nervously and then celebrated the raccoon’s safety.
Other times, trending hashtags are about holidays – either big ones like #FourthofJuly or small ones like #NationalIceCreamDay. There are also hashtags that trend regularly, like #MondayMotivation and #TuesdayThoughts.
3. Check the meaning of the hashtag.
It bears repeating that some hashtags are politically charged. Using these for self-promotion can backfire quickly.
This is what happened when DiGiorno used #WhyIStayed to promote its pizza with the tweet “#WhyIStayed You had pizza.” The hashtag was about domestic violence and why victims stay with their abusers, so DiGiorno’s tone deaf tweet did not go over well.
Before using a hashtag, make sure you know what it’s about. Sometimes, the serious message behind a hashtag isn’t immediately obvious, but a quick click will show you why people are using it.
4. Use relevant hashtags.
Although it’s helpful to pay attention to trending hashtags, don’t just use whatever just use whatever happens to be trending. In addition to making sure the hashtag isn’t loaded with serious messages and the politics, you also need to make sure the hashtag is relevant to your brand.
Otherwise, your account could be suspended.
Twitter’s rules state that using irrelevant hashtags for promotion can result in account suspension. Besides, using irrelevant hashtags is annoying, and you don’t want to irritate your audience.
5. Don’t go overboard.
Hashtags are important on Twitter, but you don’t want to use too many at once. Stick to one or two relevant hashtags max.
In fact, according to Small Business Trends, a TrackMaven study found that one hashtag per tweet is ideal. After that, engagement starts to go down. Note that other social media sites are different – on Instagram, for example, posts with around nine hashtags tend to do well.

"Enggak jelas terhitung kan ada yang serupa tamu terhitung ada yang bocor kan kadang gak tahu. Kalau dari feeling sih dari pacar ya soalnya kan sebelum saat hamil enggak manfaatkan kondom serupa pacar doang," ujar Ana menceritakan dugaan anak yang ia kandung.
Selama hamil, Ana tak begitu mempedulikan kebugaran kandungannya. Ia lebih fokus pada pekerjaannya sebagai PSK. Terlebih ada sejumlah pria hidung belang yang sengaja melacak wanita hamil atau menyusui untuk memuaskan hasrat mereka.
"(Alasan pelanggan) pingin nyobain air ASI yang hamil, sebab terkecuali dipaksain kan terlihat terhitung ya menjadi pingin air ASI-nya doang tetapi enggak dipakai," ujar Ana.

Meski bersama situasi demikian, tak ada perbedaan tarif pada dirinya yang tengah hamil bersama temannya yang tidak hamil. Ana terima imbalan jasa Rp 200-300 ribu dari para pelanggan di dalam sekali kencan. Namun kebanyakan PSK hamil mendapat tip lebih dari pelanggan.
Bagi Ana, hamil dan miliki anak tanpa ayah adalah risiko pekerjaan yang kudu di terima PSK. Dia terhitung mengaku siap terima risiko tersebut.
Ana berencana melahirkan di mes lokalisasi. Anaknya dapat ia serahkan ke mama germo untuk dirawat.
"Rencananya sih serupa mama germonya. Diasuh di situ dan dibiayain serupa germonya gitu," ujar Ana.
Biasanya bayi-bayi yang diasuh germo tidak diberi ASI meski ibunya tinggal di kawasan yang sama. Mereka cuma sesekali menemui anaknya.
"Ya kebanyakan sih manfaatkan susu itu aja, kebanyakan sih serupa susu formula," tutur wanita asal Bogor itu.
PSK lainya bernama Reni, yang baru saja satu bulan melahirkan anaknya menceritakan pengalaman yang sama. Anak dari hasil hubungan gelapnya bersama pelanggan setahun yang selanjutnya tak pernah ia beri ASI.
Satu bulan penuh ia memelihara sendiri anaknya di mes PSK. Bulan selanjutnya ia menentukan menitipkan anaknya tersebut kepada orang tuanya di Cipanas, Bogor.
Setiap bulan ia mengirim uang kepada orang tuanya sebagai ongkos memelihara anak. “Aku sih paling tiap minggu sekali, paling lima ratus ribu,” tutupnya.
