        Gigs on Fiverr worked very well until the Penguin Update, since then, they can push you in your ranks, but very probably, you'll get a "penalty" because of the low qualitity of the links or the artificiality of them.

        The "penalty" can last months or maybe forever, because probably is not a penalty, probably is the ranking that Google is giving you analyzing the whole profile of your links. So I recommend you to create natural links to counter the bad effects of this links, or at least, to reduce the percentage of this kind of links in your total but creating natural and high-quality links.

        Some people could recommend you also to use the Disavow Links Tool from Google to disavow this links, but in my experience, it did never work.

        Good Luck!

            Before closing it I recommend you to continue at least for 6-12 months and in this time create natural quality links, maybe you can save it. Also recommend you to try the Disavow Links Tool, maybe you're luckier than me and it works for you 😉

            Good luck!

              It may last up to 6-12 Months. I have experienced the same but retrieved the ranking back after 6 month.

              Follow some of the rules to get it back in minimum span of time period: -

              • Don't make further link building for the same keyword.
              • If possible remove backlinking from some of the third party website for the same keyword.
              • Try to build links for the variation of keywords not on exact one.

                    There are a lot of resources out there 🙂

                    http://www.linkbuildingbook.com/

                    Two methods that consistently work for me are Guest Publishing and replying to HAROS, but both NOT in quantity - just very selectively on high authority sites, with high-quality content, building relationships with the publishers and going for the ones that actually driving referrals and brand awareness (not just doing it for the link).

                      Nowadays with Google I would just consider most if not all of those bad links non-existent. In other words Google is ignoring links more than "punishing" you now.

                      You may have ranked temporarily until Google caught up and then just stopped counting the bad links.

                      However, IF you get a manual action notice in search console, then the site IS being "punished" and you need to get that removed.

                      If you do not get a manual action notice, I would just make pretend you're starting from scratch, and you have to build your authority from the start. because of this, there's no time period to wait until it's "fixed" - you most likely will not just recover back to ranking where you were, because the site didn't belong there in the first place.

                      In general, also, I would focus a lot of your SEO efforts not just on links, but lots of other things like great design, great content, building a known company, getting early traffic with paid channels, doing CRO, creating great UX etc.
