Hi there, I just wanted to know if anyone has had much experience with doorway web pages. I don’t know if I have used the correct terminology. Basically we have a business website. E.g. malsgroseryshop.com. We have purchased. E.g. groceriesaustralia.com. Our website is currently under the 1st url and we want to leave it there. Would redirecting users from the 2nd url to the 1st work? Would we have to build a 1 page website instead of the redirection? Or would we have to create a full website and create links to our existing website? Basically we want to come up in 1st page of search engines for our selected "local" key phrase but are finding it difficult because of the competition. Key phrase example only: groceries australia. If anyone has had some positive results please give some ideas to help. Cheers Mal
Never had experience on this kind of scenario but so far my knowledge doorway link pages might bring your PR down or may get you banned on google.
You can use a 301 redirect. You will get the traffic, but it won't do anything for SEO. You are better off creating a separate page or a blog that refers traffic to your main site. Use keyword loaded anchor text to get the max seo. Make sure you optimize the new page / blog for the keyword phrase - to attract the traffic you think is out there for this term.
