Barry that’s a very very quick turnaround on an algorithmic penalty.
Would it not take longer to remove the suspect backlinks, and let Google recrawl these links and update the rankings?
Hi Michael,
Yes this was kind of a unique case because the links originated from a single website post that was then picked up by a bot site, which created thousands of links over a period of just a few months. The owner of the website had no idea that this was happening but it stood out like a sore thumb to me when I looked at the backlink history.
As soon as the original link was removed, the bot links disappeared within days and the traffic returned a few days after that.
