And again, webmasters have come up with a workaround for this one. And it is …

Going to have to wait until next article where I will be covering hidden text tactics.

There has now emerged a second method of providing benefits of doorway pages without delectability and that is through use of server-side technology. Recently a company called SEO Doctor has developed a server-based application that, through use of tags injected into your html, will supply content that you input through a browser interface, and feed that content only to search engines. When a genuine visitor is on your site it is detected, server strips tags out of code, and additional content is omitted. When a spider comes content is injected.

The greatest single advantage of this is that it enables webmasters to write their content how it best reads and then inject content for search engines that will attain high rankings while maintaining readability for visitor by leaving out that content when a live person is there. Another plus to this technology is that it is set to detect specifically which engine is visiting your site and it allows webmaster to write content specifically for each of major engines. They don’t follow same guidelines and now you don’t have to either.

Conclusion

The use of doorway pages is now an obsolete idea. Some SEO’s will continue to present doorway pages as a benefit to you but you will either end up with a site with high ranking pages and horrible content, or with redirects that will eventually be detected and get your site blacklisted.

If you have an image-based site or need to increase your keyword counts without affecting basic look and feel of your site, you have choice of either trying to attain top search engine positioning through traditional means (standard optimization, tons of link building, and content creation) or through use of a tool like SEO Doctor.
