Are these doorway pages?

[SamCUK]

I've added category pages for counties/town on http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com but will google see these as doorway pages? If you click on categories from the menu at the top and view some of the pages you'll hopefully see what I mean? Should I continue building these or delete them?

Any advice appreciated.

Google will only have a problem with these pages because they are low quality and duplicate content. If they are in your main navigation and serving the user the same content as the bots then they aren't doorway pages.

They are just a weak attempt at trying to gain local long tail search traffic, excuse me if i sound less than tactful. I think they can result in a panda penalty and I wouldn't continue building these out.

Also the URLs are keyword stuffed:

http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com/category/bbw-dating/lincolnshire-bbw-dating/cleethorpes-lincolnshire-bbw-dating/

better would be:

http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com/bbw/lincolnshire/cleethorpes

I would look at better optimization of SEO too. For instance in your title tag you don't need "Top 10 dating reviews" it's the name of your URL and you're wasting title tag space, you're missing the Linconshire location keyword in title tag, Adult I think need to be in there and probably even escorts should be a main keyword for your site. People looking for escorts might be willing to sign up for adult dating sites, it's online sex encounters, close to the same thing.

Existing:

<title>BBW Dating Cleethorpes | Top 10 Dating Reviews</title>

Better:

<title>BBW Dating in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire UK | Adult Dating and Escorts</title>

Also location needs to be in content (maybe google maps of the area or some location info on the page)

Good luck, feel free to thumbs up if it helped you out.
