Doorway pages are a trick used by shady online marketers, bloggers, and website owners to maximize their search footprint. You may have heard it call webspam or others names.

Some people create multiple pages and submit them to be indexed by search engines. These pages repeat generic keyword terms over and over. The sole purpose is to get the search engine to rank the page high in the user search results.

This is a black hat SEO technique that renderers the search engines results useless to the user. Each page that the user clicks on from the search results, will lead them to a specific product and the same destination.

This technique floods the user search results with two options; accept my content or rephrase your search term. Most of the time the content offered is of little value or not relevant at all.

I believe Google started cracking down on this form of optimization back in 2014. Here's a link if you would like to learn more about doorway pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_page. I hope I was able to answer your question. Let me know, yes or know.
