Yea if you could really recover from Penguin that fast don't you think more people would know about it.
This is an opportunity for all of these scammers to cash in.
Just google "penguin 3.0 recovery" and check out all of the adwords ads running right now.
All they can do is the following:
1) compile your backlinks
2) run a link removal campaign
3) submit reconsideration request
all of which you can do yourself. One service I can recommend though is link detox they seem to be legit and have helped me remove some toxic links. IMO removing toxic links is a preventative measure, not something to be done on the ass end of a penguin slap. It's just not going to cut it.
Bottom line is this: If the final decision is up to google and these "recovery services" have to submit a reconsideration request, how in the world can they possibly guarantee anything that google will say or do within the next 72 hours. They are not google therefore is ultimate BS sales buzztalk.
Nearly there, but not exactly. Kinda smells like a BS post to me.
First, you cannot file a reconsideration request for a penguin problem. If you had the chance to file a reconsideration request you were hit by an unnatural link warning/penalty and not Penguin.
Second, link detox doesn't remove any links. They are a link analysis tool and a shitty one at that. You can read the countless reviews of how they miscalculate links and are really an overpriced Ahrefs report. Don't waste your money on that shit.
Third, I used a "recovery service" after my site was hit by Penguin and recovered. It sure as hell didn't take 72 hours. It took one year to recover from Penguin because that's how long it took Google to refresh the algorithm. Not all recovery services are scams. Any claiming 72 hours are a scam though.
