Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Given they were tags and not something more powerful like an , I'm not sure how detrimental it would've been, however, I think your SEO agency is right to change the HTML element to something else. How the tags were being used was outside their initial design (page hierarchy and design), as davebuts pointed out above.

Hi Tom, The php server request uri way would be a good option except that the URLs are different on the different domains. For example: www.example.com/about-us/ www.example.nl/over-ons/ Therefor i really need a way to define the correct url on a page by page basis. Manually doing this in Wordpress is going to be a pain.

Hey Wesley, Sub-directory will be a good option. You can find more info http://moz.com/blog/understanding-root-domains-subdomains-vs-subfolders-microsites   I also like the common sense approach. Is your blog part of your site? Yes? Then have it as part of your site. Are you going to write around the topic of your products and services? Yep, Great. Then have it as part of your site so you can link them when natural to do so.

Hi Wesley, I am glad to be of help. Hopefully there's a way you can still work with the gentleman and do something that will still generate a good ROI, but does not use the tactics he originally wanted to. I wish you up when you speak with him. I'll all the best my friend, Thomas

Don't forget that I am from Holland and that a lot of the American directories do not work for for Holland. But thank you for the advice.

Thank you for the reply on the thread. I will definitely check you guys out sometime in the near future It's really good that you added the schema.org markup on the product pages. Your users will really benefit from that.
