I have just submitted a disavow file to Google.

Ive been doing some backlink clean up for a site thats been penalised, I have already had quite a few links removed and I have just submitted a disavow file to Google with websites that didnt answer my request for removal, should I wait to see if there`s any reaction from the disavow before I submit the reconsideration request or do it right away??

Mathew D: wait for 15 days and after that do it right away reconsideration
Shawn Cohen: I always submit disavow and reconsideration simultaneously since it'll be several weeks before someone looks at the reconsideration request anyway. I've done this w/ three clients so far and it's worked fine each time.
Lori Eldridge: I heard a google expert say you can update your disavow file daily if you want, so I request removal of links and after a week I update it with notes of which sites did not respond to my removal request.
Tim Capper: A manual reviewer will be able to access the disavow file as part of the check, without it having been crawled.

So file your recon whenever you are ready.
David Jones: great thanks everyone
