Doorway pages are web pages created for spamdexing by funneling users from multiple domain names or pages targeted at specific locations to a single page through substantially similar pages. They are generated to direct visitors to the actual content portion of a site and duplicate useful site aggregations just to capture more search traffic without creating unique value. Doorway pages can be identified if they are hard to navigate to from other site pages, have links only for search engines, and serve no other purpose than drawing affiliate traffic. The document recommends not having empty pages, removing hard to find pages, and avoiding multiple websites to deal with doorway pages.
