Hi,

Its been 12 days since google revoked the manual link penalty they had one me, I'm still ranking 335 for my domain keyword,  there has been no movement yet..  Googlebot spiders my site daily, and I have also tried resubmitting the page from within GWT, Fetch Web Page..

How long do you think it should be before I see some movement...?  or should I file another reconsideration request just incase they forgot to remove the penalty and just thought they did..

Thanks,

Well, give it 2-4 weeks. Considering that, I would try to (I know it's difficult) to try and work on the other aspects of your business/websites. Build some more content/pages, optimize etc and see how the changes reflect in the SERPS.

I hope this helps.

In most cases the penalty is removed within a few weeks of getting your notification of the penalty being revoked.

However, if you had very serious offenses when it comes to spam, it can take longer - even months.

Another point to be aware of is that some sites do not return to getting anywhere near the rankings they had before because the vast majority of their links have been removed or disavowed.  But, you should see some sort of uptick though.
