Would Google index page that riderects?

Hello!

I have a webpage A which redirects to another webpage B by using:

<form name='redirect_form' id='redirect_form' method='post' action='webpageB'>
</form>

<script type='text/javascript'>
document.redirect_form.submit ();
</script>


Webpage A contains description of webpage B.

Would Google index webpageA?

 

how does the doorways works?

 

this is a doorway page.

 

no .I think it wont. only href link works.

 

I think you should go for Permanent re-direct because it is Search Engine friendly re-direct and the code which you have used is Javascript and crawler do not read javascript. so crawler can Index your Webpage A , may be will not reach to Webpage B.

 

This is exactly my aim: I do want to index page A, but definitely don't want to index page B.
So, as I understand from your words, I need to use a search engine unfriendly redirect.

But regarding page A: would search engine still index it? Does it not have any rule like: "don't index pages which redirect to some other page"?

 

Well, what about pages which are generated? For example database searches?

How can you make search engines find them? Seems like the only way is the doorway - is it like something illegal or so?

 

Yes, page A would get indexed assuming some other page links to it so that it can be found in the first place. That's the whole idea of Doorway pages. . . to get indexed.

Dynamic pages get indexed too. It is usually one page that loads different content based on the database search. The page has default text. That gets indexed. It usually has additional content like a product description if there is a product ID in the querystring (eg., mysite.com/products.aspx&product_ID=12345). If you list each product in the database somewhere and that list get's indexed, each product will also be indexed provided you are not going more than 2 or 3 clicks from the site's root page.

 

Exactly right! Though even we've use a javascript its not the basis of google crawlers, besides google crawlers will mainly target what's in your content and link.

 

Isn't the term 'Doorway Pages' considered as a form of spamdexing in the SEO world?

 

You must look for 301 permanent redirect to your page

 

If your webpage A is linked with any do follow page then definitely search engine will index it. Search engine do not have any policy "not to index re-directed page" but the crawler do not crawl Javascript and in your case the code is written in javascript. One thing more if your Webpage is linked with any webpage which is indexed in Google then definitely Google will index it.

 

May be it should index it.

 

You have to redirect your page through 301 redirect code..

 

If its 301 redirect then Google always index it.

 

Think people are missing what this guy is saying..

He wants to automatically forward visitors of Site A to Site B. Site A should be indexed where as site B should 'definitely not' be indexed.

Sounds pretty suspicious to me - and this is exactly what a doorway page is. Tricking a user into thinking they are accessing web page A about a certain topic and then automatically forwarding them to some spam affiliate website about gambling.

It will get indexed fine for a few days - and then Google will ban your domain

 

this is doorway, be careful with that

 

Still works. I'm amazed but it still works. Was using this to cloak as recently as maybe last year.
