What are doorway pages

Doorway pages are created to do well for particular phrases. They are also known as portal pages, jump pages, gateway pages, entry pages. Doorway pages are easy to identify in that they have been designed primarily for search engines, not for human beings. Webmasters are sometimes told to submit doorway pages to search engines to improve their traffic.
 
Doorway pages are web pages that are created for spamdexing. This is for spamming the index of a search engine by inserting results for particular phrases with the purpose of sending visitors to a different page.
 
Doorways are sites or pages created to rank highly for specific search queries. They are bad for users because they can lead to multiple similar pages in user search results, where each result ends up taking the user to essentially the same destination. They can also lead users to intermediate pages that are not as useful as the final destination.
