Default Re: Closing site over Christmas, which does this show?

As the other said, if you put something up saying closed, google is quick to drop you from their search engine listings. You could be spending weeks or months trying to get relisted.

A big image saying closed does the trick, or if you wanted you could put up some javascript that creates a popup alert (not a popup window) to alert users that the site is closed for the few days.

Best of luck to you over the holidays, but head the warning about search engines!
