The Google Penalty Recovery Panel

It is true that there are many different kinds of penalties that Google can impose, but also there are many different methods of getting them lifted.
If there is anything that the owner of a website fears the most, it is a Google penalty.
With this in mind, we asked seven leading SEOs to share their opinions and tactics on how to get rid of a Google Penalty:

We have seen a number of instances where a disavow alone can remove the penalty, but our advice remains that you should always remove before disavow.In our experience this is the best way to approach this issue and it gets the best results long term. Disavow alone is like popping a pill to solve the problem rather than addressing the root cause. Google advice removal before disavow and the vast majority of lifted penalties have backed that position up.
