What is the difference between an doorway page and a landing page?

A Doorway Page is a Web document designed to rank for a specific query with the purpose of redirecting or channeling a search visitor toward some other part of the Website or a different Website altogether. The idea is that a doorway page can optimize for a very specific popular keyword other than the Website’s brand names and, perhaps added by aggressively placed link anchor text, outrank other, more useful content.
A Landing Page is a Web document that is now normally used to receive visitors from advertising campaigns or non-search channels. The landing page may include embedded calls-to-action that facilitate quick, easy registration, sales, or submission of visitor data (such as email addresses and/or telephone numbers).
 
Doorway pages are intended on misleading visitors by attracting them to one page, while sending them to another.

A landing page is a page that visitors enter your site through. There is no misleading advertisements or optimization. The content the user searches for they get.
 
Doorway pages, sometimes use a method called Cloaking. They show a version of one page to the visitor, but a different version is provided to search crawlers and robots, using server side scripts.

Landing pages or micro sites are used effectively when an internet marketing campaign is attached to them. A good internet marketing manager will create a campaign then build the required landing page or micro site.
 
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.

Lading page is the webpage where a visitor lands when redirected from an external webpage by the help of backlink. The landing page should be designed according to help enable maximum leads from the webpage.
