Should I try to disavow the all links for UnNatural link removal strategy?

[Javed S]

A client has approached us for link cleanup. They received an unnatural link building warning on 5th September 2012.

Traffic has since declined from 3000 to 300 organic users a day. They disavowed the most obvious low quality domains and requested a manual review. The answer was that more cleanup is required.

We have found 29,000 links in the webmaster tool but over 100,000 backlinks is showing on ahrefs.com.
We have also seen that new links are either being acquired or discovered monthly. A lot of sites we wrote to are saying they got the link from http://www.tnx.net.

There is no way for us or the client to login to http://www.tnx.net and stop this as we never started this activity. It was possibly done by a competitor or previous SEO firm. The SEO in question denies it.

IT seems like link cleaning will be a never ending process. What is your advice.The domain and content is of high quality and I personally feel users are loosing out by not finding it.

Has anyone tried disavowing all links in the webmaster tool in a situation like this?

Disavowing links in pointless after you have been hit. Google has said "we're hitting you because you have spammy links" and by using the Disavow tool you are saying to Google "I think we have spammy links" - too late - it knows.

If you have 300 visitors a day I would start over - new domain name - the old one is tainted.

Note a competitor can't do this to you until you have started doing it yourself. So the old SEO built spammy links, now if more spammy links are built Google points the finger at you.

If the domain has high quality content then getting a new domain and starting over, it will not take long to recover. Much quicker than continually trying to tell Google that "it wasn't me this time"!

Download links from google webmaster tools and analyze each and every link which is bad. Remove all the bad links with the help of Google disavow tools. Then your client traffic will be back. I have the same experience. Now my traffic is back and improved too.

I have not yet used these types of removal strategy yet but if the unnatural links are more say 90% then it would be better to disavow all at once. And create new good quality links manually.
If you analyze each link it will take a long time and yet not sure you will be able to identify each unnatural links because Google may consider some natural links as unnatural due to automatic link building(through bot).

So, I suggest disavow all links at once and start with fresh.

Guys, need your opinion on this.
