      We have big issue with a website who has been hardly penalized by Pinguin on october 4th. After a lot of try to remove bad links and sending two disavow files, none of our actions has improved our situation. We're wondering if this solution might be good :

      • changing the domaine name

      • Keeping the same content

      • Not using Webmaster tools and redirect 301 and wait until the site will be fully indexed

      • Build new links

      Please tell us your opinion and solution.

      Thanks

        Hi,

        did you get a manual penalty in your web master tools? Also have you re checked your external link profile for toxic links ?

        Thanks,

        Mark

          Hello,

          Thanks for your collaboration on my topic.

          If  "manuel penalty in my webmaster toosl" mean that i've received a message from webastertools the answer is no. If it's not please clarify your question.

          About your second question, we've look into all our external links and removed a lot of them. Obviously, many directories are simply not answering our demands. So we 100 % sure that few toxic links still remain.

            If you have tried to contact the web masters of the sites containing links on and have had no response you need to disavow these links.
