Will A DDOS attack adversely affect rankings?
I am guessing YES? Because speed is seemingly a major a factor in determining a website's worth in ranking in SERPs. And Google doesn't know the background story...just that the page is served extremely slowly, if at all.
Then, if it DOES affect ranking, how? If Googlebots can't load page, I wonder how many successive non-loads counts against you, and at that point the page will eventually disappear from SERPs altogether?
