Cleaning Up Your LinksIf you just can’t wait…
Just submit your disavow manually or via a tool like LRT
Try Link Detox Boost (claims not tested) http://www.linkdetox.com/boost/
Works better with manual actions

What to Expect How will you know if the request was successful?
Set realistic client/manager expectations for traffic recovery and timelines
It may take more than one round
![Page 35: The Advanced SEO's Guide To Link Penalties And Clean Ups By Rob Woods](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/546fae92b4af9ff5638b4593/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What you can do while you wait Attract “good” links
Change your ratios

Take Aways1. Manual and algorithmic penalties get cleaned up the same way you
just don’t get the same feedback from Google
2. Find ALL your links!
3. Evaluate automatically (LRT) but review manually
4. Automate cleaning up the links and the outreach (Pitchbox)
5. Make sure your disavow file is formatted right
6. Expect the process to be a p.i.t.a
7. Be proactive, don’t just wait for the disavow
