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.

Buy domain, redirect, get all the good links (+link juice) and disavow the spammy ones?
There is a domain for sale that has a quite nice profile and a lot of good backlinks, but also quite a few spammy ones. This domain has a Spam Score of 14% acc. to Moz Link explorer, ours has only 2%. My questions: 1. The domain and the good backlinks are related to or close to our content/keywords. But we are worried whether the "spammy" ones will hurt us. Does anyone has experience with this? 2. Would it help if we disavow the spammy backlinks afterwards? And if so, how do we do that? Add new domain to search console, disavow the bad links and then redirect the entire domain to our domain or redirect the domain first and then disavow from our property? Many thanks for your help!

Okay to disavow these?
http://www.dickhead.hotel-online.com http://www.french.hotel-online.com http://www.sampsucks.hotel-online.com http://www.ru.hotel-online.com edit** adding http://www.travelocity.hotel-online.com and http://www.costar.hotel-online.com Also have the normal http://www.hotel-online.com backlink which i'll probably keep. It seems you can post press releases about hospitality stuff on this site, and found some with abcdefg.hotel-online.com was wondering if I should disavow them? I tried a google search for these, and none of them have a bad spam score according to moz, but also SEMrush with a low toxic score. These came up doing an semrush backlink crawl, but not a moz backlink crawl. Would it be okay to disavow these?

How long does it take for link to count towards DA?
We got a link for a client this week from a 93DA website .. how long will it take to actually show up in DA or will it affect it at all? http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/ We have a problem with a site, ranking above our client with a very spammy link profile - so I'm hoping this could help to bump them back up to #1 Thanks, Laura

Disavow Anchor and EMD
Lets say you have an legitimate EMD for a domain that is a ecommerce site with reasonable content. The site traffic was cut in half by Penguin. You think one of the main reasons that you were hit is old SEO black hat link building with Anchor that is exact match.....The catch 22 an exact match achor is the EMD. I want to disavow some of these old black hat backlinks and obviously I will nuke the ones from the spammy sites first and see what happens. What about the backlinks that have achor of emd.com (the company name and as it so happens a valid EMD) or just EMD. If the hit is coming from every single link becuase they are all exact match becuase that is the proper legit match and not some attempt to game the system......What the heck do you do? I get the War on spammy EMDs but I hope the legit ones are not hit even more. For one thing google should just have this ironic creteria for excluding EMDs....if they are running AdWords....they are 95% spam sites.....I love the irony of that one. I am betting lots of these mange to still get listed.

How long for SEOMoz to reflect new inbound links?
I have carried out some minor link building for my new site (site A) and have some links back from several directories and 1 from ezine and one from squidoo as well as a few partner sites and such. I also have another site (site B) which was linking to site A several times from a footer link, this has now been amended to just one link. The problem is that SEOmoz still only shows 3 linking domains to site A (there are at least 12 if you perform a manual search) and it is still showing many links from site B even though there is now only one. All these changes where made at least 3 weeks ago, how long before Seomoz picks them up.

Submitting to directories all at once? i.e. within the same week or 2?
I have found a bunch of around maybe 20-30 directories that we seem not to be in, and that seem like they might be worth it from what I am reading… My question is - is it a problem to submit to this number of directories all at once – i.e. within the same week or 2? Or should I think about spreading the submissions around a month or 2? Just worried that Google etc might through a flag with a bunch of submissions all at once… Thanks
