Need help with google penalty

Hi all,

My site has been hit by a google unnatural link penalty. the seo service company i was using did not do a great job with incoming links....
they also did not do a good job cleaning this up so two reconsideration requests were declined.
I am no longer using them and my situation is that out of close to 4,500 incoming links ~350 were removed and around 500 were disavowed. But I still have many unnatural links.
It is going to be very hard for me to manually remove these additional links and my question is:
If I disavow the rest of the bad links (may be as much as 2,500) will I be able to ask for a reconsideration? I read google doesn't like it when you use the disavow too much.
If this is not the right path - what is in order to get out of this penalty?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

    Usually when you order SEO from somewhere, they send you a report, you could just dissavow the entire report, wait a week and then submit a reconsideration request.

      You don't need to submit an RR to activate a disavow (it activates a manual review to potentially lift a manual penalty).

        Yep. Reconsideration requests are only for manual penalties, not for Penguin filters or any other drop in rankings caused by the algorithm.

    You should not wait any more, and I don't recommend to dissavow the entire report.
    You need to figure out the low quality links and remove them manually or you can pay someone to do it for you.

    Removing the links is going to be the most effective method of fixing the issue. If these are links that can be removed (like profile links, wiki links, etc), that is what I would do.

    If you have to, take the link report with logins from your crappy backlink company and hire someone on oDesk just to go through the report and remove links.
