How long after disavow do you submit reconsideration?
-
Hello everyone!
I recently submitted a disavow link file to Google for the left over links I was unable to remove after the course of 3 months. I know that I have to submit a reconsideration request, too, but I wasn't sure how long I should wait. Will it be obvious once the disavow file has processed or is there no notification of it being processed/completed? I haven't seen any posts on other individuals mentioning anything on this topic.
Thank you for your time in sharing any experiences you may have had or heard about!

Ok great and we are also getting that together for you on our end through majestic SEO. We can analyze the lost links and have included that in our submission.
We are also editing your disavow link list to add the # at the top with a comment. Google asks that we do that.
Have a nice day.

thank you Matthew, i have contacted you for propdental.com
actually i send already two reconsideration requests,
And waiting for your instructions to send the last one.
In the archive for disallow tools sended there were missing links that has been removed for other webs.
I will try to get those links that were not sended on the disallow tools so that we can write to google saying the link manually removed

Yes actually,
When you submit your reconsideration request make sure you get everything above I said in her message together such as your lost links overtime. You can use those lost links as some of your advantage and make it look like you took time to remove links to your site which they like the efforts.
No one really knows how many links need to come down, but many studies show 16% of your links. Now I have had some sites where it's 80% and some that I didn't have to remove any at all which is very odd, but yes your reading that right 0 links removed and I got back into Google for a clients site.
Don't get discouraged though if the first time you respond they turn you down. It's pretty normal for them to turn you down the first time and then after you resubmit a 2nd time I feel that a real person views it instead of a bot/automation process which is usually the 1st time.
Have a nice day.

Just remember that it can take some time. It can take up to 6 weeks for all data to be refreshed, however I have noticed some as early as 2 - 3 weeks. Where 3 weeks is the average. My fastest ever is day 2 the disavow was out, we had a 48 turn around of a refresh, but haven't seen anything like that since.
Have a great day.

Hello MB,
Thanks again for all the details! I went ahead with submitting the reconsideration request the day after the disavow tool submission and used a personal touch as recommended. Fingers crossed that it works as well for us!
Happy holidays!

Hello Tamra,
No I don't actually. However since the disavow is just a devalued link in their algorithm, I am not sure what the wait is for? When Google manually analyzes your disavow list that your suppose to tell them about in your reconsideration letter, it's going to let them know that you have a list that needs devalued.
It's going to take some time for them to answer, it's going to take a while for your site to refresh they call it due to the disavow tool. We do about 5 - 10 sites per day right now for others and found that the normal time for a refresh of data is about 3 weeks. However it all depends on the site and the amount of backlinks it has pointing to it and that your disavowing.
When your resubmitting your reconsideration letter I would personally use the lost data from majestic seo telling you how many backlinks you lost recently. You can actually use this data to show Google how many backlinks you were able to take off of your site. Maybe you contacted admins, maybe you didn't, etc, etc... However I have learned that it helps a lot.
So far we are 10 out of 10 in the past 10 message from Google allowing the site to get back into Google.
Get personal with Google when your writing your reconsideration letter, don't lie of course, but tell them how much your site means to you, and it's your chance at helping you get some extra income, and your really looking forward to this site so it can change your life in some way. Maybe your using it to help others? Maybe your giving a certain amount to donations that you earn? All of these factors if you do them can help them determine. They like personal messages I have found.
If you just write a 100 words telling them that you did what they asked and nothing else, your chances aren't as good as getting personal with them, maybe even joking, tell them you are in SEOMOZ asking others, and your very concerned about this.
Have a great night and sorry I couldn't link you to any hard concrete evidence. I have found that there aren't to many other companies out their submitting more per day than we are, so I never looked for any evidence on the net for a time delay in submitting one.

Thank you for your time! Do you have a source reference for this information? I have been reading many things about when to send the reconsideration request after the disavow submission so feel the source would be very helpful in determining how to proceed.

Did you receive a message from Google for unnatural link building or a specific message in your webmasters? If you didn't you don't actually have to submit a reconsideration request. However if you did receive a message from them, then you can submit it right away after your disavow. They will manually analyze everything and can see your list if they choose to take that into account for your problems you had due to a message or penalty.
Have a great day.

How often should you do a link audit and disavow?
Howdy Moz Fans! (Said as I twirl my non-existent mustache... damn you Rand and your cool 'stache"..!!) So I am wondering, how often should one go through and do a link audit? The last time that I really went through a link audit was 8-12 months ago (actually, looking at my disavow upload it was Jan 2015). Is it time that I do another full scale audit of my backlinks?

Can't remove and can't disavow...
Wondering if anyone could help me. A client is suffering a Google penalty at the moment which is harming their performance. That said it is properly the best penalty they could have got..the site has a penalty which is stopping them ranking as high on keywords which they have been spamming links for. I say the best penalty they could have got because, other than these keywords, the site is still performing as well as before in the engines. Have been trying to clear up the backlinks for the past couple of months and just when I think im winning I discover some 32,000 blog comments on one domain 6 weeks or so ago!! - [http://www. iimpact.co.uk/blog/about?ss=%25&replytoc&rep&d=http://8;d=http://166",.moveForm("comment-1628", "1628", addComment.m&replytocom=265](http://www.iimpact.co.uk/blog/about?ss=%25&replytoc&rep&d=http://8;d=http://166",.moveForm("comment-1628", "1628", addComment.m&replytocom=265) example url, I broke it on purpose as to not make it a backlink With that many links i will not even try and contact the site, I put in the disavow in google that there is no way I can get these removed and explained it etc, however, they, again, rejected the reconsideration request saying they are still not happy with the links. At a bit of a loss here. It's starting to look that the best approach will be to write off the half a dozen terms and go a little more long tail. The site will not rank for (this is an example as would not want to give the client away) door knockers. They used to be first page but now are page four. However they remain page one for terms such as brass door knockers, cheap door knockers, chrome door knockers etc. In WMT ranking report they have hits from 1200 words ranking in the top 5 in the past 30 days and 3000 in the top ten. Im a considering trying to up the rankings of these words at the expense of the ones which we cannot seem to get the penalty off. Any thoughts please.

How long does it take to get links indexed?
How long does it take Google Webmaster tools on average to detect links to my website? What about OSE? My site is fairly new (launched in January) and I've done some guest blogging -- I would think that some links from 3-4 weeks ago would be showing up by now. Am I just being impatient?

Disavow links returning?
Morning Mozzers, Happy Presidents Day. We submitted a disavow file about 4 weeks ago and in GWT saw that our links went from ~20k to about ~1300. Now this was good as majority were dubious at best. What is strange is I logged into GWT today and see many of the links that appeared to be 'disavowed' are back in our profile. I do not have any messages from Goog. Has anyone else seen this? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for you help.

How long for backlinks to kick in?
Lets say you do a guest post, Google indexes the article which must mean it has found the link back. Would you expect to see movement straight away? Some of my latest guest posts (in the last week) have been indexed but have shown no movement at all, but when I check WMT for links coming in they are not in the list so im guessing they have not taken full effect?

How long does it take for spam link building to take effect?
I saw a recent surge of a low quality website to the top of SERPS, and looking at the link profile is almost 5,000 newly acquired linking RD's, with a total of over 49,000 links. I looked at a bunch of the links and they are super spammy (foreign language, way unrelated and out of context, spam sites with garbage content, pages of paid links to the websites subpages, etc). My question is, how long does it take for Google to recognize this and penalize this shady site?

How long does it typically take to see a boost in traffic after a strong increase in links?
Suppose you have had a great month of linkbuilding and significantly increased the number of linking domains (say by about 10%). How long does it typically take to see a noticeable uptick in traffic based on your experience?
