    Hello

    My site has browser support for netscape, internet explorer, firefox and opera.
    When the poor visitor arrives to my site to be tortured by my awful design,
    he can select his/hers browser for optimized performance of my website.
    When they select the browser they will be taken into root/firefox folder
    where the site is modified for firefox. All the browsers work the same, so
    actually i have dublicated content 4 times in these folders...

    Root (the orginal website)
    root/ie (same as root, only code littlebit different)
    root/ff (same as root, only code littlebit different)
    root/ns (same as root, only code littlebit different)
    root/op (same as root, only code littlebit different)

    Also this will be the same case on many subdomains with different languages.

    Example: http://FR.thesite.com/ie/ <--- DONT CLICK THIS!!!

    Now will google or other search engines see this as spamm? I really want this
    feature on my site, and would not like to do it anyother way. Also PHP is out
    of the question, since i'm not good at it and don't like it either. All replies will
    be very welcome!

    I think it may cause some problems in google due to dublicated content and so on.

    The best decision will be to design pages compatible with all main browers

    Thanks for your reply!

    What if its not possible to design for all browsers in one. What should i then do?
    Cause at the time it seems to be impossible to make generic page for all
    browsers.

    What if i use no follow tag on all those browser specific pages? Would that
    do the trick?
