Do Inner Pages Take Longer To Rank?

In my experience, If I have a website, I am able to rank a lot easier for my main keyword (the one in the domain name) than I am for my secondary keywords even when they are also in the domain eg,

www.primarykeyword.com/secondarykeyword even when the keyword have similar competition and I have built backlinks to both.

Does anyone else notice this? What do you do, do you just keep building backlinks?

Thanking you in advance!

    Hi!

    Keep building backlinks to your sub pages. As a rule of thumb send 50% of your incoming links to the home page; 50% to your inner pages. Also, check your site's link structure. 95% of the time, you'll get a huge PR boost just from structuring your links and funneling PR from within your actual site. I've done this on my own sites and have #1 to #3 rankings for many sub pages (which all contain secondary keywords).

    Keep building backlinks to the internal pages and eventually they will rank. Do you have unique metatags for each page? If not, I suggest you change them.
