Google penalty affecting only internal pages?

    Hello everyone,

    I have started a website about web hosting during March of 2009. The last 2 months I have noticed that every internal page doesn’t rank on google not only for their page title but also for its content. To be more precise, they rank on positions 800-900. On the contrary the homepage ranks much higher for the same terms and also for its main keywords. Bing and yahoo rank my pages on logical SERPs. Is this a penalty?

    My website address is
    www.webhostingart.com

    I use this tool to check google rankings
    http://www.seoserp.com/web_tools/google_top_1000_serps_checker.asp

    For instance, I have an article titled “Types of Web Hosting “. My homepage ranks for the term 84th and the corresponding article ranks 831 !

    Could you help me please?
    Thanks in advance

    In my opinion it will take some time for google to rank your page rank.
    just keep on working on backlink ,improve page content and update regularly.
    Better use some social bookmarking sites and article submission.
    As time progress your sites will improve in google and its not a penalty.

    NO it will just take time.
    A better linking structure to internal articles would help as well, as would gaining links to internal pages

    Thank you very much for your responses

    The strangest thing is that between March and June every article that I was adding was gaining a noticeable position at SERPs. 2 months now all the internal pages have sunk at SERPs except the FrontPage which has exceptional rankings for each term that is present on it. The SERPs for internal pages during those 2 months arent become better even if I add content and building backlinks.

    I think your website structure is not good.

    I think you should try to get some backlinks for the internal pages. That may help them rank higher.

    Hello everyone. Thank you all for your advices. I will like to add some more info to the conversation.

    Some articles of the frontpage are appearing at No1 position of Google when you are searching for the full title, some other appear after 800 position. I would like to say that the titles and the contents of the frontpage are highly unique and with minimal competition, so normally should appear on 1st page of SERPs not at 800+ position.

    Someone told about deep linking, but if the content is unique should rank inside 100 positions without any external links. Most websites when they add articles they gain a "logical" position without "external" help. Could someone please help me some more?

    My URL is www.webhostingart.com

    No penalties.

    Your site is new, just give it time. Also, it would help to promote it. All the best to you!

    Thank you for your answer. After how much time I have to wait for results? For instance, my website will close 6 months of life in a few days. I have to wait for this threshold?
