doorway pages?

[oberheimer]

What do you all have on your doorway pages because im going to make about 50 doorway pages to my site so i need some good information. it´s a music and movie site with a forum, news and soon a trading place for your cd´s dvd´s vcd´s. Please help me out.
i was thinking off some info on music styles (pop, rock, jazz, blues etc) and maybe some news, but i have to update the pages if i had news on them so i don´t think that was a good idea.

You need a theme to base your site around. Are you wanting to design it SE friendly?

Would you be interested in some seo management? Are you designing the page yourself?

im designing the site myself, i think i know what kind of info im going to have on them

id be careful with doorway pages - search engines are very strict on this type of promotion

All doorway pages will do is get your site banned for life. Sure you may be #2 or #3 for a week but after than your black balled.

Hmmm, good opportunity here to see people's real experience with doorway pages.

Sure, you'll get in trouble with phantom pages designed only to feed SE spiders.

But what if you have a group of domain names that each have their own user viewable page and then each clicks through to a universal home page? Let's say each of these domain name pages resides as a file hosted under the one primary URL account. Is this a good strategy?

As long as the content is not the same on each page you will be fine.

Yeah, I figured that part. In fact I figured it was a pretty safe scenario all the way around. The only small doubt I had was their being all pages under one domain hosted.
