      I've tried three times and have been unsuccessful.

      Is there any specific strategy or technique that has worked for you?

      Anyways, I'd like to speak with you if you have successfully had 3 to 5 penalties lifted. So please reach out to me.

      Thanks

      Dominic

        Hi Dominic.  I have found that by far the most common reason for sites to fail at getting a manual linking penalty removed is that not enough links have been selected for needing removal.  Other reasons include not doing enough work to show Google that you have tried to get links removed.  (It is not enough to just disavow links).  And some reconsideration requests fail because the disavow tool was not used properly.

        I'll send you a p.m. and we can see if I can help you.

          Hi Dominic

          Do you know what penalties you were affected by?

          What dates did you see the effects?

          What messages have you received in Webmaster tools?

          There are different  responses to different penalties and knowing what you have been penalized for is the first step towards recovery.

          Probably not the answer you hoped to hear but it should be the first step you take.

                  Hi Dominic...have a look at your p.m.'s.  I sent you a message a couple of days ago.  I've been able to lift unnatural links penalties for a good number of sites now.  I didn't ask if yours was actually a manual penalty (i.e. did you get a warning in WMT).  If it's an algorithmic issue like Penguin then this could be another story.

                  In case you can't read your p.m.'s for some reason you can reach me at marie@hiswebmarketing.com

                    I have had link related penalties and poor content penalties removed, or at least the keywords ranked well after we corrected the issues

                    I never revived an email from Google saying the penalty was lifted, but as I say the result was what the client wanted.

                    If this is what you would like to discuss I am happy to help

                        The penalties were algorithmic
