I tweeted this earlier: https://twitter.com/#!/anticdent/status/159221189393383424

'Saying "If blacking out your website, return status code 503 to avoid an SEO hit" == "Bring the caviar when you come to the protest camp"'

If you're not willing to demonstrate damage to your situation in your protest, then it doesn't really count as a protest much, does it?

That's stupid. It's not about taking damage, it's about raising awareness.

For a startup's site, avoiding a search engine ranking drop is more like "Bring a sleeping bag" than "Bring the caviar", it seems to me.
