Creating Keyword Specific Doorway Pages - A Step By Step Guide


If you're doing business on the Internet then you know the

importance of ranking high in the Search Engines. The

competition is fierce, but it can be done. What I am about

to reveal to you will increase your traffic immensely, but

it must be done correctly. The goal is to create powerful

doorway pages that not only rank high in the Search Engines,

but are Search Engine friendly and provide some valuable

content for your visitors.

What is a doorway page anyway? A doorway page is a webpage

specifically designed to rank high in the Search Engines

for a specific keyword or keyword phrase. Not just a blank

page with a link that redirects to your main page, but a

powerful, content rich page packed with your keywords.

First of all, select three of the most specific keyword

phrases that best describe your website. If your website

is about dog grooming, then your keyword phrases might be:

dog grooming, pet care, pet groomers. Place these keyword

phrases, separated with a comma, in your KEYWORD meta tags

between the HEADING tags of your HTML.

(Notice: Some of the opening and closing brackets < > have

been left off some of the examples below to enable you

to view the code.)

Example:


groomers">

Next, write a descriptive sentence about your website packed

with your keywords for your DESCRIPTION Meta tag.

Example:


Dog Grooming Tips From Top Professional Pet Groomers">

Write a descriptive TITLE for your page that includes your

KEYWORDS.

Your doorway page should load very quickly, so keep your

graphics to a minimum. Make sure you don't include any

banners and place your main logo at the top of your page,

linked to your main page. Place your keywords within the

image tag using the ALT tag. Below your logo, include

an intriguing sentence and link it to your main page.

Example:

IMG SRC"mainlogo.gif" WIDTH"300" HEIGHT"60" ALT"dog

grooming,pet care,dog groomers" BORDER"0"

In addition to placing your keywords in your Meta tags

Title, and Image tag, you can also use the Comment tag.

Comment tags can be used throughout your page to organize

your content and make updating easier. They also provide

another great way to place your KEYWORDS. They won't be

visible on your webpage, just in the HTML.

Example:

!Begin Dog Grooming Navigation

!End Dog Groomer Navigation

The key to creating powerful, keyword rich, Search Engine

friendly doorway pages is to provide some valuable content.

In the body of your webpage, provide your visitors with

a free 250 - 300 word article or report loaded with your

keywords every couple of sentences.

Here's the basic HTML outline for your doorway page:

META name"KEYWORDS" content"dog grooming, pet care, pet

META name"DESCRIPTION" content"The Dog Groomers Salon:

/HTML

After you've created your doorway page, save your page

using one of your keywords.

Example:

doggrooming.html

If you're creating many pages, simply add a number to the

end of your page.

Example:

doggrooming1.html

doggrooming2.html

petgrooming1.html

petgrooming2.html

doggroomer1.html

doggroomer2.html

When you're ready to submit your pages to the Search

Engines, submit only one page each day. If you've created

several pages you'd like to submit, you may want to

create an additional page that contains links to each of

your doorway pages. That way, you can submit just your

links page and let the Search Engines crawl the rest of

your links.

Creating doorway pages is a powerful way to increase your

website traffic, but don't stop at just one. Imagine how

much traffic you'd receive with 100 keyword packed,

doorway pages all pointing to your website...
