I have a website which is powered by wordpress. The site is almost 4 months old now. But it is not showing up for the keyword even after extensive link building. The site has few pages which hardly has got any content. Does Google penalize websites for this.
Duplicate or stolen content - yes Less content in the pages - no Try to get at least a few quality backlinks ( pr4 and above ) and bot will love your site soon. Just my 2 cents.
If content is the king, then backlinks is the queen. If you haven't enough good content or backlinks, then nobody will penalize you, you just not a king and a queen... lol
