Negative SEO & How long does it take for Google to disavow
-
Following on from a previous problem of 2 of our main pages 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.

@Kamikam12 said in Negative SEO & How long does it take for Google to disavow:
Funny small world, because I remember advising a while back to your competitor https://www.קמגרה.com/
and he asked me to do disavow for domains like avigabbay.co.il that you redirected to their website.
Luckily I don't work in that niche anymore. -
Hi , someone made spam redirect to my website https://קמגרה.net/
And domain owner using DNS 301 redirect technic and it's not working with scripts to block the redirect, i contacted domain registr company "porkbun " to report abuse and they say they can't do nothing about it, what else can i do to block -

It requires 2 to 90 days for denied connections to quit being viewed as a feature of a connection profile," says legitimate SEO master Neil Patel on his blog. Remember that Google doesn't ensure that all backlinks recorded in Search Console will be repudiated. For example, my website had spam score 44 - I had disavow hundreds of backlinks but it take time to lower the spam score of my site. -
I found hundreds of spammy links pointing to my website ```
Beatdreamer.com - have now submitted the disavow file to Google, fingers crossed. -
I found a lot of new links to my website proffsit.se
The question is if should I remove spammy sites with high DA as well? question is if should I remove spammy sites with high DA as well?

1.) It depends on Google's perception of what has happened, you may or may not get those rankings back (ever)
i. If Google applied 'active' ranking reductions (usually signified by a penalty message in Google Search Console) then the disavow work alone wouldn't work, you'd also need to submit a reconsideration request. For a recon request to go through, especially a links one, it ranges from 2 weeks to 4 months for them to even respond to it (the higher range is usually for repeat offenders)
ii. If Google applied active ranking reductions without serving you a penalty notice, the disavow on its own should be processed relatively quickly and rankings should begin returning a week or two after the disavow is processed. Note that this is the rarest circumstance, Google almost never apply active ranking reductions without also sending a penalty notification
iii. If Google didn't apply any active ranking reductions, it simply means that links which used to count - no longer pass SEO authority. Doing a disavow doesn't magically bring the authority back (so in this situation you don't see ranking gains from disavow work, this would be called an algorithmic devaluation - not a penalty)
Items (i) and (iii) are infinitely more commonplace than (ii), which is extremely rare
2.) Build good links to replace the crappy ones you have lost

Thanks for your response!
We only disavowed the bad links yesterday not afew months ago, however, none of these links where here last time we checked which was afew months ago. These links are still appearing on Google Console however, it hasn't been 48 hours.
Many of them are linking to websites that seem to be down, however some are actual porn/spam sites. We're very concerned as this has happened the week of Black Friday and we are scratching our heads looking for a fast solution.
**Â So the questions are;**
_**1. While we understand we need to wait 48 hours for these links to be disavowed, how long after they are disavowed would it take to have the our website reappearing on Google again?
2. What else can we do to speed up recovery penalty from unwanted nasty backlinks? **_

I'm pretty sure it's variable and depends on Google's perceived severity of infraction. I've seen disavow lists that never make a difference one way or the other, and ones where the list has been digested and I'm seeing movements within the next few days. Usually speaking, I find that if there's absolute zero impact for a couple of weeks, it's time to stop waiting as the list has probably been rejected, discarded or the work was incorrect and thus it had no impact. It's fairly unusual to submit a disavow, wait for weeks or months and then suddenly it kicks in. In my experience, they're relatively quick-acting! If you have waited nearly half a year I'd say that more waiting isn't going to help

Same URL-Structure & the same number of URLs indexed on two different websites - can it lead to a Google penalty?
Hey guys. I've got a question about the url structure on two different websites with a similar topic (bith are job search websites). Although we are going to publish different content (texts) on these two websites and they will differ visually, the url structure (except for the domain name) remains exactly the same, as does the number of indexed landingpages on both pages. For example, www.yyy.com/jobs/mobile-developer & www.zzz.com/jobs/mobile-developer. In your opinion, can this lead to a Google penalty? Thanks in advance!

Pages with URL Too Long
I manage a number of Shopify stores for ecommerce clients. MOZ keeps kindly telling me the URLs are too long. However, this is largely due to the structure of Shopify, which has to include 'collections' and 'products'. For example: https://domain.com.au/collections/collection-name/products/colour-plus-six-to-seven-word-product-name MOZ recommends no more than 75 characters. This means we have 25-30 characters for both the collection name and product name. VERY challenging! Questions: Anyone know how big an issue URLs are as a ranking factor? I thought pretty low. If it's not an issue, how can we turn off this alert from MOZ? If it is an issue, anyone got any ideas how to fix it on Shopify sites?

Google + and Schema
I've noticed with a few of the restaurant clients I work with that Schema isn't contributing at all to their SERP -- their Google + page is. Is there any way to have more control over what Google is pulling to help make UX better? I.e. showing photos of the restaurant without a logo, etc.

How long for Panda 4.1 fixes to take affect?
Hi, If you have been hit by Panda 4.1 and now putting fixes in place, for this example lets say you remove a load of dup content (and that's what caused the problem) - how long would it take for that fix to take affect? Do you have to wait for the next Panda update? or will it be noticed on the next crawl? Thanks.

How long does it take for google to update title and metadata?
I updated my site's title and description about a week ago, however for some reason it's still not reflected in google search results. Here's my site and try searching for 'shopious directory'. Any idea why this is? I tried looking at webmaster tool and it seems that google didn't have any errors. Why is it still showing the old data?

Should we block urls like this - domainname/shop/leather-chairs.html?brand=244&cat=16&dir=ascâ„´=price&price=1 within the robots.txt?
I've recently added a campaign within the SEOmoz interface and received an alarming number of errors ~9,000 on our eCommerce website. This site was built in Magento, and we are using search friendly url's however most of our errors were duplicate content / titles due to url's like: domainname/shop/leather-chairs.html?brand=244&cat=16&dir=asc&order=price&price=1 and domainname/shop/leather-chairs.html?brand=244&cat=16&dir=asc&order=price&price=4. Is this hurting us in the search engines? Is rogerbot too good? What can we do to cut off bots after the ".html?" ? Any help would be much appreciated 🙂
