        Doorway pages are pages set up with redirection, spoofing, or cloaking to get some SEO benefit that's usually short-term gains and typically not so kosher. Basically, the visitor thinks they're getting one thing and ends up with another.

        Landing pages are any webpages on your site which you're driving traffic to.

        Hope this helps!
