Have you seen the ads for people charging you hundreds of dollars to
make doorway pages for your site? If you have a little time, I'll show
you how to make your own doorway pages absolutely FREE.

Basically a doorway page is a page that leads people, or is a
doorway, to your actual site. Each of these pages have a different url
so you can submit these multiple pages to the search engines, and you
can try different keyword combinations on each doorway page to increase
your hits. So let's get started.

1. First you need to determine which keywords are going to generate
the most traffic to your site. You want to pick one primary keyword
or keyword phrase and 3-4 secondary keywords or keyword phrases.
Here are some suggestions to help you find popular keywords or keyword
phrases that accurately describe your website:

2. Now you need to create the meta tags for your page. You want
to use your one primary keyword in your title tag, description tag
and keyword tag. Then use your secondary keywords in your keyword
tag. If you need help creating your meta tags, here are two
meta tag generators that are easy to use:

doorway page from Web Position Gold. I made up a fictional company
to illustrate for you how an actual doorway page would look. Feel
free to copy and paste the html code to your own site. Just change
the keywords, title, etc. to reflect your own page. Go to
