We came across a Google Webmaster Help thread that has a story of a webmaster that is trying to disavow and remove all the bad links pointing to his site.
The webmaster simply has to remove the manual action, but Google’s John Mueller tells him, the site also has algorithmic trust issues. John mentioned –
“Looking at your site’s history, it looks like you’ve done quite a bit for quite some time, and it looks like our algorithms have picked up on that too. So while resolving the manual action is a good way to start, you need to keep in mind that it can possibly take quite some time for our algorithms to regain trust in your site even after that.”
We have typically seen this happening a lot – We notice drop in rankings, we review the backlinks and come up with a list that needs to be manually contacted, and then come up with a list that needs to be disavowed and finally disavow the links / domains. However, even after months, we do not see improvement in rankings. The only reason could be the algorithmic actions taken on the site. According to Google –
The algorithms seem to have lost trust over time. The manual action is a “good way to start” but the algorithms need to “regain trust” in the site for there to be an improvement – which may take some time.
How we are helping your site to regain trust after we disavow the links?
•We build good quality links – There is no denying of the fact that links are here to stay. We build links from highly relevant sources which include guest blogs, videos, infographics, local business directories, coupons, etc. making it a diversified backlink profile. We also make sure to diversify the anchor text by lowering the percentage of exact match anchor texts and getting more links for naked URLs, branded terms and variations.
•We improve your On-site Local SEO – With the decrease in off page SEO factors, importance of on page SEO has increased. We continue to focus on more on-site optimization techniques which include correcting all possible 404 errors, fix duplicate (thin) content on the site, implementing rich snippets, etc.
•We write good quality content for your site – We understand that having relevant content on the site is vital for its success. We get the content written by professional content writers who writer as per the search engine standards. Apart from this we feature informative content on blog posts (added on the website blog) to cope up with the Hummingbird update as well.

•We improve social signals – Instead of doing social bookmarking of the article URLs, we get social signals to those articles which will include (either of) Facebook likes, Tweets or Google+ Votes. Client participation is encouraged. We have also included Social Profiles creation as part of our deliverables.
