As Google has recently announced that it will boost up the ranking for SSL (HTTPS) secured website. So it is necessary you website must secured with HTTPS protocol using SSL Certificate.

You said that your website is only content based, but this time Google is very must strict about security of website so you must install SSL certificate to rank your website, if you'll not install it your ranking may drop as per google's ranking terms and conditions.

If your website is small/medium scale it will better for you to use Comodo PositiveSSL certificate, because the price of Comodo SSL certificate is very much compared with Symantec & GeoTrust.

Vendors like CheapSSLSecurity offers Comodo PositiveSSL certificate at only $3.25/Year - http://goo.gl/yvdVr0.

So I would like to recommend you to buy Comodo SSL certificate from CheapSSLSecurity, protect your website today and boost your ranking.

I had a same question and tried a lot to get satisfactory answer. Today while searching on this topic, i learned that content website has lot of benefits to secure with https. few of them are; authentication, reliability and trust.

Your website visitors can easily identify that the website is secured and can verify business ownership by visiting your SSL certificate. If you are new and want to learn more about this topic, i would recommend reading this article http://bit.ly/1vE9oaZ which includes detailed Google i/o video explaining benefits of HTTPS and also provide information on migration process.
