Stop using the god damn disavow tool, you guys are just helping Google. Forget the site and move on. Use the content on a new site a build it up again.
@Mamadou I understand that, but often it's much quicker just moving the site including themes and everything and rank it (if you only rely on SE traffic) than hoping for some kind of SE ban to lift.
@claus10 there is no evidence at all on any of the SEO forums or blogs that Penguin 2.0 is a penalty or ban. Please, if you have evidence to say otherwise then please share for us.
@tcsmith007 I did keep building links yes. I cleaned up my SEO stuff, by using better targeted KWs and avoided using a lot of junk search engines, only Google and Yahoo now in SER for my projects. I also change my spun content more often, just to be safe. I am in in for mid/long term so SER takes longer to find good links but it's worth it. No more 100LpM for me
@spunko2010 I'm not talking about bans, I'm talking about stop using the disawow tool for whatever purpose you think it has. You are just telling Google where to look for patterns and help them devalue the links we create with GSA.
spunko2010 Are you able to get relevant websites linking back to your MS? By that I mean are you able to use GSA to find website about your niche and then get a link? If yes what setting etc are you using for that. I can ge links but the website is usually something completely different. I want to get mainly relevant niche related websites.
You can generate links that are relevant by putting in loads of KWs via scrapebox and then tick the option 'make sure 1 keyword is on the site' or whatever it's phrased as.
@davbel I am not getting the same amount, or anywhere near. About 5 LpM and I have 5 T1 projects active. But, if I spend 1 day doing this, then the next day doing T2 and T3 with few filters, it does work.... Eventually.
As with anything I am trying to spread the risk and still doing varied link types, just being ultra careful about T1 links.
The issue with going for filters or more niche specific sites is that some reason SER lowers the thread count even if it hasn't finished the keywords or tried the various footprints against the keywords. I think this could be the issue somehow.
What kind of engines do you use with that filter? With contextual like article directories, where every article has its own page, this option doesn't do a thing but skip potential backlink opportunity.
What I do is have two projects running set to say 20 submissions per day. You can have one of the projects building links to everywhere, with say a PR 3+ filter on it. You can then have the other project running with the button ticked "only submit if at least 1 of my keywords is present".
Now you will get links at the same velocity with your normal project, while you other project finds niche specific links for you.

I agree about the disavow tool. Never trust Google!.
But I want to mention that for some folks who got only 1 site it's not easy at all to just switch to a new domain. ( like me!)

@audioguy yes thats prety much it. I also did sponsored blog posts and social stuff, away from GSA... Don't know if that's linked...
so now i am happy and keep building links.
