I don't have hundreds of dollars to get my ssl certificates signed
You can get single-host certificates issued for free from StartSSL, or for very cheaply (under $10) from low-cost providers like CheapSSL.com. I've never had a problem having my StartSSL certs verified by anyone.
This doesn't solve the problem if you have your own internal PKI or want to use a certificate that is valid for more than a year. StartSSL is a good option, but not everyone will be able to switch for a variety of reasons. Google should provide a way of uploading trusted root CAs (including self-signed certs) if they want to perform strict validation. - Max
