Best way to protect hardwood near doors

Ok so every house I have lived in with hardwood floors - the floor by the front door takes a lot of abuse and you want to be careful about what to put on the wood to protect it. Short of pulling out wood and having a tile section................what kind of mat do folks use that does not scratch up or react with today's finishes?

Try a low pile throw rug with a no-skid backing to protect the floor by the entry.

Or try two extra coats of polyurethane on it if you have a dislike for rugs

A nice welcome mat outside the door (cleaned regularly) and a rug inside.
