Unnatural Links – A guide to recovery (2020 version – but still very relevant!)

Everything you need to know in order to get an unnatural links penalty removed from your site.

This book, written by Dr. Marie Haynes and one of MHC's senior SEO auditors, Dylan Adamek, is an improved version of her previous book that helped hundreds of webmasters to successfully remove a manual unnatural links penalty. While last updated in 2020, the process described in finding your unnatural links and adding them to your disavow file has not changed.

This book gives very detailed instructions based on over a decade of analyzing unnatural links and using Google's disavow tool. It's original version is the textbook many SEO agencies use when auditing links.
