How have you dealt with link penalties?

[andrewskyler]

I obtained an error, my site just came up on page 1 yesterday but today I can not still find it in the top 100, actually I thought my website was punished even though there was clearly no webmaster notification.
So How have you dealt with this?

A Google penalty is the negative impact on a website's search rankings based on updates to Google's search algorithms and/or manual review. The penalty can be a by-product of an algorithm update or an intentional penalization for various black-hat SEO techniques

The first and foremost thing is to review your backlinks, you can use Google Search Console for this purpose. Try to identify which links are unnatural and unauthentic, then make a list of those links. After completing the identification you need to try to remove them manually, if not possible then use Google disavow tool. Google takes some times to restore the ranking so you have to be patient for this as well.
