@Fast-Nop the content is in a completely different language, so if you google for example "Domain" you should find a page on the dutch website because it would say "Domein"

@RicoNijeboer From what I remember, the SEO danger is that Google regards this setup as link farm in case the different versions cross-link each other, which multilingual web projects usually do, even if spread over different domains.
Plus that given how smart Google Translate is, it could easily identify the content as same, just different language, which could lead to a duplicate content rank-down. -
@Fast-Nop Thank you, I'll pass this by my boss!

Nike's robots.txt says "just crawl it"
Fuck SEO companies and their dumb fucking faces.
The SEO campany that was hired for a website by the client just asked us to implement hreflang tags.
Which at fist sounds logical, but it was requested on a website that is multi language installed (english has a .com and dutch has a .nl domain) meaning all installations target a completely different audience and to implement it correctly we would somehow have to make it automatically resolve the url? Like what the fuck do they want us to do, so we called the actual Client of the project and he's like;
"We'll wait for now as it sounds like you guys don't think it would be usefull, but I think we may need to pick it up later"
So that cleared that up for now.
In other news; One more day and then I have vacation, maybe afterwards I'll be able to not fall asleep at 6pm and sleep to 11pm only to sleep from 11.30pm to 6am
