I have been doing SEO on my website, And I seem to have over optimized my website. I am hit with an algorithmic penalty. And I know this because I am not showing for the keyword I am targeting, but showing for other keywords. Did any of you recover from algorithmic penalty? Does disavowing links helps recover ranking? My problem is that I built a lot of exact match links What are my options?
yes, disavowing links ll definitely help you. Plus try to get more quality links with domain name as anchor text
