Nowadays with Google I would just consider most if not all of those bad links non-existent. In other words Google is ignoring links more than "punishing" you now.
You may have ranked temporarily until Google caught up and then just stopped counting the bad links.
However, IF you get a manual action notice in search console, then the site IS being "punished" and you need to get that removed.
If you do not get a manual action notice, I would just make pretend you're starting from scratch, and you have to build your authority from the start. because of this, there's no time period to wait until it's "fixed" - you most likely will not just recover back to ranking where you were, because the site didn't belong there in the first place.
In general, also, I would focus a lot of your SEO efforts not just on links, but lots of other things like great design, great content, building a known company, getting early traffic with paid channels, doing CRO, creating great UX etc.

There are a lot of resources out there
https://backlinko.com/link-building
http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies
https://yoast.com/successful-linkbuilding-strategy/
http://www.linkbuildingbook.com/
Two methods that consistently work for me are Guest Publishing and replying to HAROS, but both NOT in quantity - just very selectively on high authority sites, with high-quality content, building relationships with the publishers and going for the ones that actually driving referrals and brand awareness (not just doing it for the link).

Hi
can you tell me how can i build quality natural links please ???????
-
Hi
thank you very much for your advice

It may last up to 6-12 Months. I have experienced the same but retrieved the ranking back after 6 month.
Follow some of the rules to get it back in minimum span of time period: -
- Don't make further link building for the same keyword.
- If possible remove backlinking from some of the third party website for the same keyword.
- Try to build links for the variation of keywords not on exact one.
-
Before closing it I recommend you to continue at least for 6-12 months and in this time create natural quality links, maybe you can save it. Also recommend you to try the Disavow Links Tool, maybe you're luckier than me and it works for you
Good luck!

Gigs on Fiverr worked very well until the Penguin Update, since then, they can push you in your ranks, but very probably, you'll get a "penalty" because of the low qualitity of the links or the artificiality of them.
The "penalty" can last months or maybe forever, because probably is not a penalty, probably is the ranking that Google is giving you analyzing the whole profile of your links. So I recommend you to create natural links to counter the bad effects of this links, or at least, to reduce the percentage of this kind of links in your total but creating natural and high-quality links.
Some people could recommend you also to use the Disavow Links Tool from Google to disavow this links, but in my experience, it did never work.
Good Luck!

Google Pagination Changes
What with Google recently coming out and saying they're basically ignoring paginated pages, I'm considering the link structure of our new, sooner to launch ecommerce site (moving from an old site to a new one with identical URL structure less a few 404s). Currently our new site shows 20 products per page but with this change by Google it means that any products on pages 2, 3 and so on will suffer because google treats it like an entirely separate page as opposed to an extension of the first. The way I see it I have one option: Show every product in each category on page 1. I have Lazy Load installed on our new website so it will only load the screen a user can see and as they scroll down it loads more products, but how will google interpret this? Will Google simply see all 50-300 products per category and give the site a bad page load score because it doesn't know the Lazy Load is in place? Or will it know and account for it? Is there anything I'm missing?

How to avoid Google penalties being inherited when moving on with a new domain?
Looking for SEOs who have experience with resetting projects by migrating on to a new domain to shed either a manual or algorithmic penalty. My questions are: For algorithmic penalties, what is the best migration strategy to avoid inheriting any kind of baggage? 301, 302, establish no connection between the two sites? For manual penalties, what is the best migration strategy to avoid inheriting any kind of baggage? 301, 302, establish no connection between the two sites? Any other input on these kind of reset projects is appreciated.

Manual Removal Request Versus Automated Request to Remove Bad Links
Our site has several hundred toxic links. We would prefer that the webmaster remove them rather than submitting a disavow file to Google. Are we better off writing web masters over and over again to get the links removed? If someone is monitoring the removal and keeps writing the web masters will this ultimately get better results than using some automated program like LinkDetox to process the requests? Or is this the type of request that will be ignored no matter what we do and how we ask? I am willing to invest in the manual labor, but only if there is some chance of a favorable outcome. Does anyone have experience with this? Basically how to get the highest compliance rate for link removal requests? Thanks, Alan

Restructuring/Removing 301 Redirects Due To Newly Optimized Keywords
Just to be clear, this is for one unique page on a website. Also, please see my diagram attached. Let's say that a page's URL was originally /original. So, you optimize the page for a new keyword (keyword 1), and therefore change the URL to /keyword-1. A 301 redirect would then be placed... /original > /keyword-1 However, let's say 6 months down the road you realize that the keyword you optimized the page for (keyword 1) just isn't working. You research for a new keyword, and come up with (keyword 2). So, you'd like to rename the page's URL to /keyword-2. After placing a redirect from the current page (keyword 1) to the 'now' new page (keyword 2), it would look like this... /original > /keyword-1 > /keyword-2 We know that making a server go through more than one redirect slows the server load time, and even more 'link-juice' is lost in translation. Because of this, would it make sense to remove the original redirect and instead place redirects like this? /original > /keyword-2 /keyword-1 > /keyword-2 To me, this would make the most sense for preserving SEO. However, I've read that removing 301 redirects can cause user issues due to browsers caching the now 'removed' redirect. Even if this is ideal for SEO, could it be more work than it's worth? Does anyone have any experience/input on this? If so, I greatly appreciate your time! oDvLl.jpg

Spammy? Long URLs
Hi All: Is it true that URLs such as this following one are viewed as "spammy" (besides being too long) and that such URLs will negatively affect ranks for keywords and page ranks: http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ipod-parts-ipod-touch-replacement-repair-parts-ipod-touch-1st-gen-replacement-repair-parts.html My thinking is that the page will perform better once it is 301 redirected to a shorter page name, such as: http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ipod-touch-1G-replacement-parts.html It also appears that these long URLs are also more likely to break, creating unnecessary 404s. <colgroup><col width="301"></colgroup> Thanks for your insight on this issue!

Keyword Significance
I am seeing some very interesting changes in our non-branded keywords, and am curious to know how keyword significance in Google Webmaster Tools plays into ranking of a site. Say for example we are a photography website selling photography supplies. At one point our most significant word was Canon, but now it is photography. Would that mean that we would start seeing a lot of non-branded keywords generating from Google like "camera strap", "camera lens hood", etc. This is really good for us, but curious to know if the only reason we are seeing this is the shift in our keyword significance. Any insight? Thanks!
