If your website has received a manual action related to backlinks, here are some steps you can take to recover:

1. Identify the problem: Identify the specific manual action that has been taken against your website. This can be found in Google Search Console under the "Manual Actions" section.
2. Conduct a backlink audit: Conduct a backlink audit to identify any low-quality or spammy backlinks that may be causing the manual action. Use tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Moz to identify these backlinks.
3. Remove or disavow low-quality backlinks: Remove or disavow any low-quality or spammy backlinks that you have identified. Contact the webmasters of the sites linking to you and request that they remove the links. If they do not respond or refuse to remove the links, use Google's disavow tool to tell Google to ignore those links.
4. Improve your content: Improve the quality and relevance of your content to attract higher-quality backlinks. Create valuable and informative content that provides unique insights or perspectives on your niche or industry.
5. Diversify your backlink portfolio: Diversify your backlink portfolio by attracting backlinks from a variety of sources, such as guest posts, social media, and influencer marketing. Avoid relying too heavily on any one source of backlinks.
6. Submit a reconsideration request: Once you have addressed the issues that led to the manual action, submit a reconsideration request to Google. Provide a clear and detailed explanation of the actions you have taken to address the issues.
7. Monitor your progress: Monitor your progress by regularly checking Google Search Console for any updates on the manual action. Continue to improve the quality and relevance of your content and attract higher-quality backlinks.

By following these steps, you can recover from a manual action related to backlinks and improve the overall quality and relevance of your website.
