Doorway pages will get you removed from SE's if they catch you, They are a waste of time, and have proven to be worthless in 90% of cases that people do it, because they are not properly done..

This means that you hav e 100's of pages with keywording in that page, and then this may forward to your main homepage or have a link to the site. Search engines will ban your domain name if you do this.
