Tips on speeding up disavow process and still doing it right

[BobGW]

Hello,

I'm doing a 10-step disavow check using this article, this word document, and this corresponding spreadsheet template. Doing a disavow for a non-manual penguin penalty (paid links, doorway sites)

It's taking a long time. Can you give me some pointers of how to speed things up? I want to do it right but I need to know how I can do it faster. Like tricks on domains to automatically disavow, what not to check, whatever tips you have.

I'm using Cognitive SEO and manual checking. I'd like to avoid pricy tools. I'm on a mac.

Thanks!

I'm sorry to say, there really is no way to speed it up without cutting corners!

Link removal is a painfully slow process but one that needs to be done if your link profile is terrible. I don't use exactly the same process as that guide but it's pretty close and it's going to be about the same speed.

There are automation tools out there and maybe a little Excel trick or two that could save you seconds but if you've got a big, low quality profile, there really is no way to save any significant amount of time without risk of missing some.
