          To reduce your spam score, focus on authentic content, avoid overuse of keywords, ensure clear and relevant subject lines, regularly cleanse your email list, use the double opt-in method, offer an easy unsubscribe option, and keep your subscribers engaged with valuable targeted content.

            If you wanna decrease your spam score, you must make high authority backlinks from relevent sites and remove spammy links.

            Recently I make backlinks for MUNBYN Official that not only increase its DA but also decrease its spam score.

              You can decrease your spam score by removing spammy links or just increasing the number of high quality links.
              Let me show you a case study of my website. Recently I faced a spammy links on my website. then 1 did 2 steps to neutralize this. First 1 created high quality good links and then tried to remove these spammy links which is a little bit difficult. Evently my site spam score reduced from 20 to 5.

                    How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?

                    So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file.  So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered.  Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years.  During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since.  But we have not recovered.  At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

                    If I migrate to a new domain, does my Domain Authority score get migrated also?

                    For business reasons, I migrated my domain with a DA score of 85 to a new domain.  After some time, the DA score on the new domain is only 45.  My migration plan and redirects went smooth and all redirected with best practices in mind.  I am still ranking well for almost all of the keywords where I've 301 redirected old URL to new. Any feedback welcome!

                    Spam Score of 28-Cause for Concern?

                    In the last week domain authority for our site (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com) has increased from 21 to 31. We have been working on local SEO and making other improvements in the last month. I have noticed that our spam score is now 28. I believe it was much lower in the past. Should we be concerned about incurring a Google penaltyY How likely is this with a spam score of 28? What actions should we take? Also, we will be migrating the site to a new domain early this week. Can we use the domain migration as an opportunity to remove links from pammy domains? Will the removal of link from spammy domains increase or decrease our domain authority? Thanks, Alan

                    Doubt Regarding Moz Spam Score

                    My website is https://www.whatiscbd.com/ .  When I check spam score of whatiscbd.com, moz show that its spam score is 9. And when i search spam score of www.whatiscbd.com, spam score is 0. Although both are same website. Why i am getting such issue. Is there any issue in my website's URL redirection. If yes then what's the issue?

                    Why such bad scores?

                    Hi all, I'm a bit frustrated because in open site explorer, my site is appearing with the worst possible scores for everything.  (see attch.) However, about 2 months ago I published my site onto a bunch of places using the Yext service. I also manually created 50+ additional links and citations as well as accounts on all the major social media sites. So, how come I get such bad scores and even a big fat zero on inbound links? Thanks! bYCpm

                    Moz's Spam Score - WWW v Non-WWW

                    Given that going with a www or non-www TLD is a coin-toss in Google's eyes, I'm curious as to how this relates to Moz's spam score (if at all)? Specifically, we've got a client who has several sites across a number of industry verticals, and for some of them, the www and the non-www versions of their websites are both in play (sigh). Obviously we'll sort that out shortly, but my question is why, when we put both TLDs into Open Site Explorer does the www and the non-www version of the sites get different spam scores? With some of their sites (www v non-www) the difference in the spam score might be a 2 for the www v a 3 for the non-www. But in others it might be 0 for the www v 8 for the non-www! And it's unclear which one is the 'real' spam score, as there seems no rhyme or reason to the results. Anyway, any thoughts from the room would be appreciated.
