I am creating the homepage (www.example.com) for international subdomains (us.example.com, fr.example.com, ru.example.com...). For visitors I would like it to redirect to the appropriate subdomain, based on IP->country lookup. For robots I would like to show a menu of countries, linking to the subdomains. Would this be considered cloaking by major engines? Or manipulation of some kind? This is my first time going multilingual, any advice appreciated!
Nice idea can you give or post some example of international subdomains. Im willing to try it if it's free. By the way Im from philippines so "ph.example.com".
