Sounds like a good idea, but is it?
Before you consider making an optimized doorway page which automatically
redirects to your normal home page, consider that nowadays mst search
engines simply won't index them. They are smart enough to know that
if the page is a redirect, it is not something a human is intended
to see, so it should not be considered.
JAVA vs META
There are two common ways redirects are done: Java or META refresh.
The META Refresh tag goes between your <HEAD>
and </HEAD> tags with your other
META tags. the format is as follows:
<Meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.mydomain.com">
Where the "0" after content is the unumber of seconds
the browser will wait before going to the page (0 is right away,
5 is 5 seconds, etc.). and the URL= portion is the page you wish
the browser to go to.
The JAVA method is more complex, and if you really want to do it,
AddWeb's PageBuilder can automatically enter the JAVA redirect code
into your pages, but it is not advised.
The Golden Rule of Web Promotion applies
If you make a great website, full of textual content and links
that are relevant to the overall theme of your site, you are better
off than trying to trick search engines.
