Loading...What’s the Value of the Green Address Bar (EV)?
Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates are the way to go if you’re conducting business online. Ask yourself these questions:
- Is consumer confidence important to me?
- Is my business one that can be confused with Phishing sites?
- Is my brand strong enough to create trust?
- Can I afford an EV certificate if it helps me close 20 percent more business?
If you have answered yes to all of the questions above, especially the last one, you should upgrade to an EV SSL certificate. It’s all about ROI.
Today all of the major brands are upgrading to EV SSL certificates even though their businesses are well known and have a recognized brand. Trust is the key issue. EV SSL certificates are issued by CAs (Certificate Authority) such as VeriSign, GeoTrust, and Thawte. They verify your organization manually and, if all your records show you are a legitimate business, then they issue you the certificate.
Do you think Phishing sites can get an EV SSL? The answer is no way. However, they may be able to get a Domain Validated (DV) certificate such as RapidSSL, QuickSSL Premium, SSL 123, Comodo, AlphaSSL, GoDaddy, etc. For a DV certificate, CAs only validate the domain name ownership. If they own the domain they can get a DV certificate in minutes. Even though CAs catch them very quickly and revoke their certificate, it’s still possible and they cause a lot of damage before they get caught.
EV SSL certificates are expensive because issuing one is very labor-intensive. Almost all of the information must be verified manually by calling government agencies, business organizations, etc.

As you may be acquainted with, plenty of online businesses have measured the results of putting Extended Validation (EV) SSL on their sites and have commonly found that EV SSL has proven to be a key factor in overcoming customer reluctance to do business online. Businesses that secure their website with EV SSL reports an average increase in transactions of over 20%. With so many measurements of EV’s effect, we have decided to put it on all our websites.” says John Tuncer, founder of St. Petersburg based theSSLstore.com, www.Rapid-Billing.com.The case studies cover all kinds of businesses including MelBoteri.com, NeoVerve.com, CUSA.com, and iStyles.com.
