    Hi,
    I think if you submit your sub pages that will effect alot more than your sub domain.

    You may want to consider page segmentation (see Google Page Segmentation) if the services you are offering are all the same category.Hope that helps.

    Usually for same type of contents/information/category the subpages is OK and for different category either we can use sub domain or sub page (directories).

    You should use pages by keep keyword on that page. i.e if i want to target keyword Web Design Australia, so what I will do . I will make page like this . www.objectsynergy.com/Web-Design-Australia . in this we you can target your keywords and also show pages to your users.

    If the site is very large and has multiple categories per country, I would say a sub-domain is the way to go (ie. australia.yourwebsite.com/category1, australia.yourwebsite.com/category2). If your site just has a few pages per country, I would use pages instead (ie. www.yourwebsite.com/austraila-category1).

    Take care,

    Kevin

    I'd recommend you to use sub domains which could be promoted separately

    That's a good point. This format is perfect for submitting to country-specific directories.

    There are many directories that only take services/sites that are from a particular country....for instance, canpages.ca in Canada.

    sub page is more important because it gets high Page Rank quickly, since it is a part of your main domain but sub domain is a new website and backlinks starts from 0
