Results After a Disavow File Submission
-
Hi,
I have a client who had a range of spammy links going to their website. The links were from exact match anchor text, from duplicate content and poor quality, irrelevant domains. They also had built a number of sites and linked to my client's site from each of the footers.
All the domains they owned have been redirected to the site we're working on. We also disavowed all the spammy links going to the site.
This was over a month ago and rankings haven't changed and in fact, have gone down slightly.
Is there any other course of action anybody could suggest or should i wait longer in the hope the disavow is still yet to be accounted for?
Any help I'd really, really appreciate!
Thanks

I gave a solid response here which is hugely likely to shed some light on your disavow predicament.
Disavow work is a preventative measure, it is not work which you should 'expect' to raise rankings.
If you didn't replace the disavowed (discredited) backlinks with decent ones, obviously you'll just go down and down

Disavowing Links
I need some advice... I've noticed our link profile has increased with many comments links --- something I certainly have not pursued manually. I'm new to disavowing links. However, before I go ahead and disavow them, I'd like to ask how harmful these links are and would you recommend this is something I can do myself (relatively novice SEO) or if you'd recommend someone who could do this for a reasonable cost. In one instance, the link from this comment thread is with the anchor text, "porn"... Certainly not something we want to rank for, haha! I look forward to your advice

Submitting Separate Disavow Files for Each Subdomain?
This question has to do with using Google's Disavow Links Tool. For sites having quite a few subdomains, where those subdomains are listed separately in Google's Webmaster Tools, do I have to upload a separate disavow file for each subdomain? Or, will the file that I upload for the main domain (root domain), also be evaluated by Google for all of the subdomains on that site? I've searched all over the Internet for an answer to this question, but can't find anything.

Article Submission Old Hat or Still Good hat?
I have always used article submission sites such as ezine, article snatch etc... I have always seen the big ones as a good way of getting relevant content out into the internet network with the bonus of building quality links back. However I have now been reading a lot of conflicting information, since the latest update from Google that even an article being republished multiple times around the net will wipe out the positive impact of the article and bring no SEO benefit. I wanted to get feedback from the SEOmoz community to see if you now feel this is a pointless exercise and we should now be even more careful as to where our content is published.

Domain/page authority - how long does it take so see results ?
Im new to the SEO and link building world. I have been building on my link building campaign over the last month or two but I am yet to see any changes in my domain/page authority. Is it because of the quality of the links, the directories I have been submitting in, webmasters maybe using "nofollow" tag ect. Or it generally just takes time to see the results? Is this even how domain/page authority is built. lol Any information on the topic would be greatly appreciated. Regards, S&M
