hey Kanubhai.. Will you please explain something more about "Hallway Pages"? I m not getting wht they are exactly and would they help in attracting visitors?
Hallway pages work as index page for group of pages that are intended for the search engine spiders to find. A "hallway" page is a page that has links to all your different "optimized" pages you've optimized for each search engine. When this hallway page is submitted to a search engine, the search engine's spider travels down the page and branches off to these links indexing those pages you really want indexed.
If you don't know what something is, look it up on google. If you do know, answer other poster's question when they ask about it. This looks like pointless post-count padding.
Okay thanks for the explanation Manish.Chauhan... It seems to be another kind of sitemap.. presented on the website.. isn't it?
Hallway page is a page that serves as an index to a group of pages that you would like the search engine spiders to find. Once a search engine spider indexes the hallway page, it should also follow all the links on that hallway page and in turn index those pages as well. Might be it's like site-map page.
