I have a penalty removal I need to begin working on on one of my sites. It was a manual action for unnatural links around a keyword that's particularly valuable to my site.

My question is, is it a bad idea to continue building (100% bettter!) links for that keyword while I'm also going through the process of identifying and disavowing the unnatural links? I ask because if I don't do this, I'll lose at least 2 months to this process and it will take me even longer to recover rankings for that keyword...

If you're manually building backlinks, you should at least make them look natural. Remember, when people are linking to things on the web, they rarely care about the keywords or the key phrases that are being used in the anchor text. For example, say I have a page called example.com/hotel-reviews and that people are naturally linking to it. The anchor text will be varied. Examples include:


here, click here and this.
Raw links to the page: example.com/hotel-reviews i.e. No anchor text. This is extremely common.
The domain name will sometimes be used: Example.com
This review
A number of other reviewers have also noticed etc, etc.

Basically, if the majority of your links use the exact same keyword-focused anchor text, Google is going to know that that something is amiss.

Personally, I think that you are playing with fire here as it is obvious that you are making it obvious.
