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.

There are a lot of resources out there
https://backlinko.com/link-building
http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies
https://yoast.com/successful-linkbuilding-strategy/
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).

Hi
can you tell me how can i build quality natural links please ???????

Hi
thank you very much for your advice

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.
-
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!

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!

Title tag: Long tail words or keyword dilution?
Hi all, I am a newbie to SEO. Lately, I have been struggling to optimize my title tag. Ones say that we should have long tail words in title tags because long tail words improve click through rate and generate quality leads. On the other hand, ones say that putting other words in the title tag will dilute the main keyword that my page ranks for. Do keywords really dilute each other in the title tags? I am really confused. Let me give this an example: Web Design Services | Company Name Web Design Services with Conversion Focused | Company Name Which one would you prefer and why? Thank you. 😄 Best, Raymond

Keywords in URL: sub-directory or single layer keywords?
Hi guys, im putting together a proposal for a new site and trying to figure out if it'd be better to (A) have a keyword split across multiple directories or duplicate keywords to have the keyword hyphenated? For example, for the topic of "Christmas decor" would you use; (A) - www.domain.com/Christmas/Decor (B) - www.domain.com/Christmas/Christmas-Decor in example B the phrase 'Christmas' is duplicated which looks a little spammy, but the key term "Christmas decor" is in the URL without being broken up by directories. which is stronger? Any advice welcome! Thanks guys!

Main Keyword penalized. And now?
Hello SEO comunity. In one of the sites that I work, our team won numerous keywords in the first searching results. Unfortunately, on june we lost the most important site keyword. It was a general Word, very disputed, that generated a lot of traffic to us. The problem: it droped from third to fifty position. I’d like your help to identify the possible punishments and than find the solutions. What could happened? Where do we start? Is there any checklist to verify the punishments? What do you suggest to me? PS: We always do a clean job, getting away form the blackhat techniques; We didn’t received any notification from Google; During two year, the keyword was in the first ten positions. Actually, I'm looking for an explanation for what happened to me, to get my top10 again. Thanks

How to remove an entire subdomain from the Google index with URL removal tool?
Does anyone have clear instructions for how to do this? Do we need to set up a separate GWT account for each subdomain? I've tried using the URL removal tool, but it will only allow me to remove URLs indexed under my domain (i.e. domain.com not subdomain.domain.com) Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Google Places / Google Analytics
I apologize first if this comes across as extremely novice, but I realized I really didn't know the answer and so - here I am. 🙂 Is anyone familiar with tracking google place traffic in google analytics? Is it possible? I'd love to know how many of our visitors are coming from our google place listings (we have several locations throughout the state.) Much gratitude in advance ~ Alicia
