Before you respond, take a look at this blog post on the seobook.com blog.

"In the past doorway pages could be loosely defined as "low-quality pages designed to rank for highly targeted search queries, typically designed to redirect searchers to a page with other advertisements."

The reason they are disliked is a click circus impact they have on web users as they keep clicking in an infinite loop of ads."

Please share your thoughts on what Mr. Wall has talked about.

Yes, It is right. Doorway pages are the black hat technique to promote the website. The definition of doorway pages is absolutely correct. It is the way which takes you the infinite loop of the pages.

Well, I guess if we recognize what we hate to come across we can forecast what will be blacklisted as a practice by major search engines.

It takes responsibility and creativity to choose to find the right way, contribute and get at the same time.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Doorway pages are an easy way out for many SEO firms. In fact just about anyone I've come across who mentions doorway pages, say that as soon as they land on a doorway page they hit the back button and try to get out of it right away. It's annoying for visitors looking for a particular site or page, and it hurts website owners in the long run.

Doorway pages are standalone pages designed only to act as doorway to your site. These are also known by different names such as gateway pages, portal pages, jump pages, etc.

Basically these are large sets of poor quality pages where each page is optimized for a specific keyword or key phrase. In many cases, doorway pages are written to rank for a particular phrase.

It might be irritating for the user of deceiving to them.. but is you design your doorway page in a way that it looks similar to your website, or you have your logo on your doorway page than it will not harm you in a long run... it is not necessary that a doorway page needs to be ugly or poor... you must apply a little more effort to make it look good to avoid harm in future.

Doorway pages are pages created for keywords alone. Rather than having doorway pages one should concentrate on having a blog or article section where you should publish your original articles.
