What's a doorway page?

Pendo · 2005-01-27, 01:45 PM

well?

It is a page designed to be well read by the search engines as an entryway into a site.

A doorway is an entry page for a free site that isn't the site's true index. You see them named index1.html, index2.html, and so on. Sometimes they are named with a keyword rather than numbering them. If you put both an index.htm and an index.html in a free site's directory, both can be considered doorway pages.

It's just a thing submitters do so they can submit to every link list known to man. But it's horribly unpopular amongst most link list owners.

EDIT: That damned Chris guy replied while I was typing.

My reply is just more frees site specific.

are those doorway pages?

Those are mirrors. That's prefered over doorway pages. That way each link list's recip is on a true index.

Like UW said, those are mirror sites (entire folders). Doorway pages are just that....single pages. Here's ths difference:

Mirrors:
www.domain.com/folder24/index.htm
www.domain.com/folder25/index.htm

Doorway pages:
www.domain.com/folder/index24.htm
www.domain.com/folder/index25.htm

great, so I don't have problems with that

Hi Guys,

Will Search Engines spot out and eliminate your site from ranking higher due to mirrors and doorways creating the same pages with different names??

plateman · 2005-01-28, 04:21 PM

Now I am really confused I thought it was a webpage with a picture of a door on it..

Maybe thats why I dont get listed..

They will definately spot it.

As I understand it - and this applies equally to doorways and mirrors (as defined above) - the s/e will pick one for its listings and discard the rest... which is frequently the one it saw/indexed first...

There is a definate chance that you won't get consensus on that issue.
