      Hello,

      I am working on a site for past 3 months, here are the problems with this site,

      1. It had a forum full of spam becuase initially captcha was not included, 10000 spam backlinks

      2. Affiliate page was also hit by spam about 4000 spam backlinks which were either not existing or porn etc....

      3. Too many internal links which were indexed, these additional links were generated due to tags, ids, filters etc.

      Existing SEO team decided to remove the forum and after 30 days they blocked it in robots. But within 30 days the site moved from 3rd page to no where. Now after few days lator internal links are also cleaned by putting following in the robots,

      Dissallow: / *?

      Dissallow: / *id

      Dissallow: / *tag

      Links are now cleaning up, all the spam and bad links are now put into disavow file and sent to google via disavow tool.

      On daily bases good quality links are been produced such as through content, article submission, profile linking, Bookmarks etc. The site is still not any where on top 50 results. The impressions are decreasing, traffic also do not rise as much.

      How do you see all this situation. What do you suggest and how long do you think it will take to return to top 10 when good linking is being done and all preventive measures are being taken.

      I would appreciate any feedback on it. Thank you.

        impossible to answer without the URL, keywords, competition level etc.

        "On daily bases good quality links are been produced such as through content, article submission, profile linking, Bookmarks etc."

        Those don't sound like quality links to me, also you should not link build while trying to get out of a penalty.

          I agree with irving.For perfect reply give us site URL.

          Do read out the post of Rand on Friday whiteboard.

          Linkbuilding is dead we are moving to Link Earning.

          If you want to create a profile link.Make sure you contribute as part of that member discussion board or site.
          N/A profile link is worth what?

          If you have great community surely your bookmarks and social shares are one of the valuable assets for you but the current way of backlinks is slowly getting to end.

          The next war is how good our content is to be let others link naturally to us.Looks like mad for today but you will enjoy it once you start applying it.

              have you checked to see how often google is indexing the site? these may be affecting how "fresh" the results are in your target keywords. so, if it's only indexing once a month, you may not see a lot of change in search results.

                Indexing is good, crawling occurs almost every two days.
