                        @serktba seriously man 2% spam score is not bad but for the future point of view create backlinks only low spam score websites.

                          2% spamscore is not that bad, honestly. Also take into account this is a Moz metric which may have no influence on your website's SEO results, although it helps as a reference.

                          Spamscore is tipically correlated with some features of your website or its external links, such as having low content published, tipically spammy TLDs, high backlink to content ratio, no GSC integration, etc. You can see all this factors here: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score#spam-score-signals

                          As you publish content and correct this issues spam score should decrease, although again it is not something I would worry about.

                              Unsolved Looking for someone from Moz to comment on unrealistic spam score

                              spam score

                              Two years ago I bought domain name aroundtheworldwithme.com as a travel blog. I built the site up slowly and currently have a DA of 28 with decent Google search results. However, according to Moz my spam score is 43%. I am convinced that something funny is going on to give me this spam score. I have gone though all 27 factors that play into the spam score in great detail. I only fail a few of the checks. These are the Double Click Tag, LinkedIn profile, phone number, email, and Facebook Pixel. Which as far as I know, literally zero travel blog websites provide this info. So I am on par with evert other travel blog website. Now I know Moz will say this "doesn't mean your website is spam, just that our algorithm found that websites with similar attributes are spam." But this is completely bogus. All similar websites to mine have spam scores of 1-2%. All other websites I see with spam scores over 40% are literally spam websites. Why am I literally the only legitimate travel blog site that has a spam score over 40%? My backlink profile is similar to all other travel blogs. I actually have less spammy links as most, as I haven't been around too long. So I don't think my backlinks are causing the high spam score. The only thing I can think of is that my domain name used to be owned by someone else. I have a lot of backlinks from a random blog website that were discovered in 2018, three years before I bought the domain. Is it possible that the domain used to be an actual spam site name and I am now being punished for that? If not, then I cannot think of anything that would cause my high spam score other than fundamental defects in the Moz spam score algorithm. Something is going on, and I'd love someone from Moz to actually be able to have a look at my website and tell me why I have such a high spam score. I know Google doesn't care about Moz's spam score (thankfully) but other websites don't want links from me due to my completely bogus spam score. Thanks everyone

                              spam score site evaluate link building link explorer

                              Hi,
                              There is a question in my website. When I'm searching the number of spam score of my site, it shows "--".
                              In the official article it shows that the reason of "--" happens is that our site has not been evaluated by Moz. But there aren't any ways of solutions, seems that we can only wait - not knowing how long - for being evaluated.
                              Is there any way that I can get my site evaluated by Moz, and the spam score of my website can be displayed as an exact number?
                              Thanks for answering in advance!

                              How to get rid of bad backlinks

                              off-page seo seo backlinks spam score

                              So I noticed my rankings going down and spam score going up. So under my spam score there are over 100 links for different websites but ALL redirect to semalt.com I researched it and it says they hijacked a bunched of backlinks but don't know much more. How can I get rid of all those backlinks? I was told I could use the disavow tool but apparently that can hurt my ranking as well. The semalt.com site has no backlink to me - it looks like the pages that have/had my backlinks, they've redirected to them. For instance this is one of the links http://www.oxvideos.xyz/indianantyphotoxxx 422005fb-9240-40a4-8b65-f5b1f5079dea-image.png
