Doorway Pages are used for Spamming of Search engine index and get high rankings in SERPs but it is a black hat techniques. These type of pages are especially created for crawlers for getting high rankings and shows different content to users.
 
They are also looked down upon by Google. Google is getting better at figuring things like this out and will deindex your site. So I would not use doorway pages if you care about your site.
 
What Are Doorway Pages ?

Michael these type of black hat techniques might have worked in the past but doorway pages do not work any more. Even if some body is successful this success would be temporary because sooner or later those doorway pages will be found by search engines.

Google and other search engines have became very intelligent and when some one will create doorway pages he would show different page to the google crawler and some thing different to the actual visitor and who knows that the search engine may also visit the website pretending to be a real visitor and if the find that the content is really different than presented to their crawler than forget about raking of website. So do not even think of doorway pages can do any good to any website now.
 
Google has been cracking down on this for years, and I would avoid setting up doorway pages for SEO. They came down on my company's web site a few years ago, namely the landing pages we were using for our paid search campaigns. We had a redirect in place, if the user didn't meet some initial criteria - and would send the lead over to one of our affiliates instead. Google viewed this as doorway pages too and warned we would be penalized if we didn't change this or make it more explicit what was happening along with an option for them to not be redirected.
 
I thought doorway pages were a thing of the past. I haven't run across in a doorway page in years. Google did clamp down on this type of thing years ago. I was very glad too.

Yeah Tara you are right. But still many people are doing this without the fear of Google. They even don't care about the algorithm update and they will penalize for this activity.
