recip doorway pages and SEs
 

Hi everybody

While trying to submit to link and top lists, dirs, etc, I created several doorway pages to my sites.

I thought I could use these different pages to submit the same site to SEs but had a vague memory of seing somewhere this is not advisable (considered spam?)

All help greatly apreciated

thanks

Bert

Re: recip doorway pages and SEs
 

Yes! (If they have the same content) Why would you like to do that? Build new pages with new content.

hmmmmm now that I think about it Im not shure I understand excactly what you meen! And I think I misunderstod your question!

But a easyer way to say It could be like this: Dont submit your pages/site to the SEs. Let the spiders find your page through your indbound links.

Hi Dionysos

thanks for your help

My point is this:

I made page index, page "main", page "home", each one with a set a recips, and they all link to the "tour" of the site.

So I had the "brillant" idea of submiting all those pages to SEs.

But, for what you said, I shouldn't do it, since it is spam,

Thanks a lot, friend, all the best

I stopped submitting muliple doorways to different LL cause it was fucking me se traffic up.

When I make a sire, which is rare now, I submit to 20 LLs on one page.

hmmmm
 

That is a good way to do it... especially if the 20 are solid traffic providers...

If you want to do 20 doorway pages and be se friendly - you need to make unique text and body copy for eatch and interlink them.

Too much work for me - IMO.

I read somewhere that linking to sites on 'doorway pages' or 'deeplinks' is detrimental to search engine rankings. Is this right?

To put it in context, I link back to my own links lists from the entry page on my sites (so the link would be going from enter.shtml rather than index.html). Is this bad? |goodnight

hmmm
 

That is not a doorway page... they are heavily weighted with keywords and redirect to a site as the only outbound link. I take it you have links to other areas of your site at the enter page.

Some of the newer ones do but not all of them; nowhere near all of them.
Is it just better if I get rid of the links on the last pages of the tour in that case? The links are controlled by SSI, so they're easy to rip out.

hmmm
 

What people should know is that a doorway page is a very specific beast... it is heavily weighted to one or possibly up to three keywords with little distraction for other possible terms. It will then redirect the user to the main page of the site it went fishing for surfers for... if it does not use a redirect then it becomes a static page with similar text etc to get good search engine placement and is set inside the framework of the interactive/actual site.

This last method is similar to the use of landing pages. Pages a site develops to place well on the engines for a specific term and then have links etc to other areas of the site... this is getting harder because the ranking is lost when the outbound links are factored.
These pages can be pointed to with text anchors to boost the PR from other pages on the site or from off site links.
