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.

Negative SEO & How long does it take for Google to disavow
Following on from a previous problem of this sweetandsavorymeals completely dropping from index, we have discovered that 150+ spam, porn domains have been directed at our pages (sometime in the last 3-4 months, don't have an exact date). Does anyone have exerpeince on how long it may take Google to take noticed of a new disavow list? Any estimates would be very helpful in determining our next course of action.

What weight can 1 huge inbound backlink carry and how long does it take for Google to recognize
My DA is only 22. I got a beautifully crafted dofollow backlink from a site with a DA of 94 and an AHrefs rank of 98 (the 98th most valuable domain in the world) 2 parter- 1. How much do you think one link like that will affect my DA and rankings? (i understand this is subjective - looking more for opinions) 2. How long before MOZ and Google Search Console see the link? It has been 10 days and the link is not showing up on either yet. I know the best thing to do is put my head down and keep building links rather than focusing on "when" and "how much" but I'm getting antsy and curious for the community's opinion. Thanks, Ryan

To disavow or not?!
Hi, I've been rooting around my GWT account and noticed two what may be dodgy links, they look like a blog network - no contact details on the site and basically just blog posts about various subjects that all contain keyword rich links. The two that are pointing at me are two seperate articles on two sites that both contain around 3 keyword links to our website. I have no idea why these are linking to me as I have not requested them, so not too sure if someone has done this on purpose on what! Looked on the sites in question and there is no way of contacting the person responsible for the sites. Not had any warnings yet (touch wood) in GWT, how you you go about trying to get shut of links when there is no contact info on the sites? Bit wary of using the Disavow thing in Google as some people say go for it while others say avoid? Any hints/tips would be welcomed as this has got me a bit worried! Cheers Ted

Looking for some help on disavow
I received a message from Google WMT on July 23rd about unnatural links to my site. And my ecommerce site suffered a big drop on sept 29th about 70% drop in organic traffic. My it guys have discovered that our past seo companies placed ton of bad links to our site. we have contacted lots of these companies for 3 weeks after we lost our traffic to remove their links. Some of them did remove them i believe and most of them did not even reply back. We have learned about the disavow tool in 3 rd week in Oct after that we have compiled the links and submitted the file on Oct 22nd and submitted a reconsideration on Oct 23rd. We got a reply back on Nov 12th saying that "Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site that could be intended to manipulate PageRank. Examples of unnatural linking could include buying links to pass PageRank or participating in link schemes." I did not participate in any link schemes or otherwise suggested practice here. So my question at this point is, is it possible that google' quality team did not see the file or did not take it in to consideration. How long would it take this tool to work? is there an example of this file where i can see how the format should be if any different than how we had it. my site is goldenageusa.com Thank you

How long should does it take before I see SEO results?
I am thinking about launching a website connected to Christmas - which gives me less then 2 months to develop and begin ranking for the site. Is this too short a timeframe and I should put off this plan until next year or can I actually begin ranking for low competitive keywords within my timeframe.

Has anyone every researched how long before a link took effect.....
What I mean is lets assume you were to get a link from BBC or CNN how long does it take for that link to have a positive impact on your rankings? I ask because I am experiment with getting links from different sources and I want to try and nail down their real worth..... Also if you do get a link is it normal that google would crawl your site and if so do you see this reflected in googles cache immediately? Thanks
