Search Engine Optimization Services
When it comes to gateway pages, it's not the quantity - it's the
quality
What are gateway pages?
Gateway pages are pages specially optimized
for one search engine and 1-3 keywords. They are also known as "doorway,"
"bridge," "entry," "jump" or "supplemental" pages. Gateway pages stand on their
own, separate from the rest of a site. They usually feature a logo, some text
and a link that encourages visitors to enter the site.

At one time Gateway pages provided webmasters with the opportunity to rank
high for any keyword with any search engine. Although Gateway pages are still
effective for sites with content that's typically overlooked by search engines,
they are no longer the "magic solution" to all ranking problems.
No magic bullet
Thanks to innovations like themes, link popularity
and click-tracking, Gateway pages are no longer the "magic bullet" they once
were. Search engines are getting better at looking at the whole picture, not
just one page.
That's not to say that all Gateway pages are evil. Sophisticated Gateway
pages (those that contain unique optimized text) are still an excellent way to
rank with the search engines. And if your web site has dynamic or otherwise
unspiderable content, Gateway pages may be the only solution.
Beware false promises
Many optimization services promise to create
surefire Gateway pages as part of their service packages. If you're shopping for
such a service, look out for exaggerated or unreasonable claims about the
effectiveness of these pages. Beware of any company offering to create "50
custom pages that will rank high on all search engines" or making a similar
promise. Such claims are usually unsubstantiated.
