According to foldec:
"portal
<World-Wide Web> A web site that aims to be a "doorway" to the
World-Wide Web, typically offering a search engine and/or links to
useful pages, and possibly news or other
services. These services are usually provided for free in the hope that
users will make the site their default home page or at least visit it
often. Most portals on the Internet exist to generate advertising income
for their owners, others may be focused on a specific group of users and
may be part of an intranet or extranet. "
