        We have seen it strike one of our competitors this week really, really hard. Like going from #1 to out of the top 50 for 150 geo keywords. How long ago did you disavow the links? If it was over 3 months ago, it might be time to look at doing a URL change. Unless you have a lot of time to play the waiting game with Google. If it was less than 3 months ago, I would give it that long and see what happens while really focusing on building high quality links.
