How to Make Doorway
Pages
It’s now time to add
the doorway pages to our site map page.
This is a simple
process. We will create a link to each
doorway page on our site map. This is the reason for having a site map.
We need
the spiders to find our new doorway pages.
We also need the
spiders to be able to index the doorway pages
for their keywords. Because we may have many doorway pages, we use the
site map
as a link directory to them all.
On the site map, you
can have a link to as many doorway
pages as you wish. You can place them any way you wish. Once you do
this, an indexing
spider will arrive at your home page, follow the link to the site map
and then
follow the links to your doorway pages. These pages will be found by
every
spider that visits your site. At this point, we are getting very close
to being
finished.
There are a few more
finishing touches that must be done to
complete this process. What we want to do now is place a hidden link on
ever
single doorway page back to the site map. This is very important and if
it is
not done, your sitemap will not be indexed properly. This link must be
hidden,
unlike the links on your site map.
You should now be
able to add as many doorway pages as you
wish to your site map. To a visitor coming to your home page, these
doorway
page links will be invisible. However, you can create as many doorway
pages
coming into your site as you see fit. If you sell red widgets, you can
create
20 pages using combinations of the word red widget.
You will then have 20
entry points into your site for one
product. Once they get to the doorway page, they can move around your
site by
clicking on your navigation links. This is why it was extremely
important for
you to make sure that your doorway pages have navigation links on them.
This
way the visitor can view all of your pages seamlessly.
