      my website hit by penguin update on april;

      i check my anchor text and found that i had 1790 anchor links for " air conditioning nyc"

      i erase them almost a month ago but it still shows on the website report.

      how long it take seomoz see the changes and what about google.

      if someone have any idea how can i bring my site back to the top pages.

      thank you

        If they were boosting your rankings you will need to regain more backlinks, but proper backlinks so it may take a while. Google can leave the info for up to 4 months, not sure about Seomoz.

          Panda has already had a data refresh and some sites have already jumped back:

          http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-wpmuorg-recovered-from-the-penguin-update

          If you got the changes made in good time for this update you may still have work to do or may need to get some worthwhile links to get a ranking similar to what you had before. A quick look at the keyword difficulty tool indicates this keyword is only moderately competitive so there is hope here, you just need to clean up your act, get some good links and start earning rather than buying that rank.

          Without a link to your site we  can only really offer the most basic and general of advice but I do hope this helps.

          All the best

            SEOmoz updates it's Linkscape index approximately every thirty days. The last update was finalized on May 31, so if you made changes since then, you won't see that data in any SEOmoz tools/reports that pull from the the index.

            You're in luck though, the next index update is scheduled for Wednesday (June 27), so you should have a clearer picture of your site's inbound links then.

            FYI:

            The SEOmoz API / Linkscape Schedule

            Google can take quite a while to update it's index, and sometimes four months or more to reassess penalties for violation of their policies (spam / paid links). You might consider filling out this form, which could possibly give you a "fresh start" by devaluing the numerous inbound links w/ identical anchor text. I haven't had any experience with the results, but I've read it can expedite a return to Pre-Penguin organic rankings and traffic. It's just an option, I'm not suggesting that you submit the feedback form without further research.

            Hope this helps and good luck!

            Anthony
