Why Google Made HTTPS/SSL An SEO Ranking Factor?

What this means?
That all websites must use HTTPS to rank better? Adult sites included?

Can someone please help me choosing a good SSL for me?
I have in my server about 30 websites, should I buy an SSL for each domain!?
Or one single SSL is enough? For example to use in my server hostname/IP?

I'm thinking in buy SSL from one of this two services:
https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates/single-domain.aspx
https://www.digicert.com/

But I don't know what SSL to buy...

P.S. My sites are mostly tube sites, forums, etc... I dont own any online shop.

P.S.2. Or should I buy only an SSL certificate for my server hostname/IP? And add all my sites in CloudFlare that offers SSL certificates for free?

Thank you for your time :)

I buy my certs from GoDaddy but if you are looking for a bulk solution, go for COMODO. Costs just $5 per year per domain.
This applies mostly to sites that have a shop or login functions.
 
Lol
Better go with Name.com
with wildcard ssl.
It will work with unlimited domains
will cost you around 149$
Geotrust


Geotrust is much much better then Comodo
 
you can only use wildcard-ssl-certs if all your domains are esentially the same.

if you host multiple domains, you have to buy multiple certificates, sinde the domain-name will be inserted into the certificate.
so if you would only buy one with your ip or hostname, you have to rewrite all ssl-requests to https://yourip/somefolder which is rather ugly.

you can use cloudflare ssl, but then you have to check if your script is able to handle this sort of ssl, and if you got ads.
if you have ads - forget about adding ssl, all modern browser will bock out the ads, since they normally don't have ssl (except a few ones)
e.g. for wordpress cloudflare has released an add-on which will make it work with cloudflare. Otherwise you have to remove all references to your domain-name, so that the script will work with pseudo-ssl (the cloudflare one) and non-ssl requests.


edit
what i just rememberd: you can buy yourself the right to certify other certs - but that's rather pricy, and probably not reasonable.
for free ssl-certs you can also take a look at https://www.startssl.com/

It is just a factor, the weight of it is not that big since there are many factors for ranking.
However, the main purpose of having an SSL is for security and protection
