If you ever did any one (or more) of those methods excessively, then you’re at a higher risk.

If you ever mixed any of those methods with exact match anchor text for commercial phrases, you’re also at a higher risk.

Solution1. Get your backlinks from Google and other sources.2. Separate out the “Live” from the “Dead”3. From the Live, separate out the “Good” from the “Bad”4. Put the “Bad” in the Disavow (by domain)5. Wait until the next Google refresh to see if it worked.

Solutions:1. Analyze your backlinks from Google, etc.2. Separate the “Live from the Dead”3. From the Live, Separate the “Good” from the “Bad”4. Then you will need to email all the “Bad” sites to get links removed5. Then you will need to do a reconsideration request stating all that you did to get the links removed. List those you were able to remove, and put all the rest of the “bad” domains in the disavow document.

Then wait about 2-3 weeks for an answer. If no, hope for example links.

Dear site owner or webmaster of http://www.website.com,

We received a request from a site owner to reconsider http://www.website.com for compliance with Google's Webmaster Guidelines.

We've reviewed your site and we still see links to your site that violate our quality guidelines.

Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site that could be intended to manipulate PageRank…..

Recovery is by no means guaranteed. In fact of the people who go to the trouble to remove many links & create a disavow file, only 15% of people claim to have seen any benefit using the disavow tool. http://www.seroundtable.com/google-disavow-rankins-17946.html

The other 85% who weren't sure of any benefit may not have done enough, or may have made their backlink profile worse than it was prior.

Matt Cutts Answer:“It can definitely take some time, and potentially months. There’s a time delay for data to be baked into the index. Then there can also be the time delay after that for data to be refreshed in various algorithms.”

Danny Sullivan Question:“How long will it take sites to see any potential improvement? It seems like potentially months.”

“[The Disavow Tool] If used incorrectly, this feature can potentially harm your site’s performance in Google’s search results. We recommend that you disavow backlinks only if you believe you have a considerable number of spammy, artificial, or low-quality links pointing to your site, and if you are confident that the links are causing issues for you.” (Matt Cutts)

But recently Matt Cutts has encouraged broader usage. He has one video which discusses proactively disavowing bad links as they come in & another where he mentioned how a large company disavowed 100% of their backlinks that came in for a year.

The idea of proactively monitoring your backlinks is quickly becoming mainstream.

Even if a recovery is deserved, it does not mean one will happen, as often errors do happen. And on the off chance recovery does happen, it usually does not mean a full restoration of rankings.
