Tim Capper: This is what i posted on his post ( for some reason i cant get a link for it)<br /><br /><br /> ;<br />But you already have answered your own question +Cyrus Shepard ;<br /><br />Google has stated (or rather JM in webmaster hangouts) that the disavow will get processed (if algorithmic penalty) when the algo runs .<br /><br />This is what exactly happened in you case (as you point out) - the disavow file took effect after the May Penguin roll out.<br /><br />The reverse applies, with the removal of the file - you will need to wait until the next penguin roll out for the removal of disavow file to be processed.<br /><br />If a manual penalty - they will process disavow with submission of Recon<br />If algo penatly - they will process disavow when algo re runs.<br /><br />So if you are going to have a penatly applied ..... Pray for a Manual one :) It is far easier to recover the site
