If you were me, would you use the Google disavow tool ?

I ve been hit by Penguin on 24th april. On august I received an "unnatural links message"...
on september 17th or 18th ( not sure ) my rankings fallen down still more. BUT, at 2nd october, I got a "manual spam action revoked message" ... Tough my ranking is still bad.

SHOULD I try the disavow OR may i wait for the next Penguin update??, as Google "forgave me" after the Penguin second hard hit... What shall I do ?

    No way should you use that. If the 'manual spam action' has been taken down, you need to work on bringing your rankings back.

    Your backlinks have already been devalued for being 'unnatural.' The only way to improve rankings is to get much better links.

    I agree. Work on better links and you should be back in a few months.

    I personally wouldn't use the Google Disavow Tool so quickly.

      Look, my site is a static one, portuguese english with plenty of good info about work at home.
      The info are so good, that its text content has been copied tons of times, And I always have to change. - It has never got hitten by PANDA -

      The problem is the inlink "keywords" anchor text - I really exgerated. Most of my links are from blogs comments and directory submission. ( big spammer? Maybe, tough I never meant to be one, now its too late )

      That said, I dont know how to get good quality links. Never been so "social"

      Yes Misterious Marketer, thats the most complete article about Disavow/Google/Penguin.
      No one is 100% sure about how to proceed.

        Build more links without the anchor text in it. It's that simple. If it's the site in your sig file, you only have links from 180 ip ranges. Right now "Luis" is your primary anchor text, so it looks like you've been diluting links fine.
