Regarding the SPAM Score
-
Hi Guy's
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong . I recreated my whole new website , Disavow the links , Created the landscape.pages , Put the fresh content . Still working on fresh blog. Fetch the fresh index through google webmaster. Working on couple of errors .
Created high pr links .
Run the Ppc keywords
Did strong social media marketing .
I notice my DA and PA got increased , However my spam score is still same .
My niche is www.shinedental.net. There are some website who showed up in top research of google their spam score is 7 .
I'm not sure , if the moz database update every month or when we crawl the website . I delete the campaign and re-run it.

As Samantha mentioned, the Spam Analysis tool is not a 100% accurate tool, it's more of a 'helping tool'. With the tool its best use is to get some ideas on what poor links are pointing towards your site. Even then you need to take the results with a grain of salt. The tool may give you a spam score that is not entirely accurate, you need to examine the links and make sure it is actually spammy. You'll also notice that the tool doesn't pull all the back links to your site. Moz doesn't have the capability that Google does to crawl that much quantity. To get a complete list of your links go into Google Search Console.
If you're seeing your rankings and domain authority increasing this is a good sign Google noticed your disavow.
Hope this helps.

Hey! Samantha from Moz’s Help Team here!
To be fully transparent, our Spam Score metrics haven't been updated in some time, so they're not fully current. If you've made progress towards reducing the links from spammy sites going to your site in recent weeks and months, this likely will not be reflected in Open Site Explorer until our Spam Scores update. (Unfortunately, I don't have an ETA on when that will be - sorry about that!).
So, it's entirely possible that Google is no longer penalizing these sites and that they're not considered spammy by Google any longer. I know that makes our Spam Analysis tool not super helpful, since it isn't up to date, but I hope this helps to explain why you're still seeing those spam scores.
As always, you can reach out to our team directly by sending an email to help@moz.com but I hope this helps!

Spam Score and crawling of my site
Hello, I'm trying to analyze the spam score of my site which is 9/17 Actually I have few backlinks and all of them have a low spam score (max 4/17, just one). I think there's some kind of issue with the crawler since I get strange spam factors: Large Site with Few Links (likely true, I recently deleted a lot of tags used once) Low Number of Pages Found (wasn't it a "Large Site"??) Low Number of Internal Links (I got a considerable number) No Contact Info (I have a link to my facebook in the menu and a "contacts" page) Thin Content (It's just a blog with min 300 words per post, why thin?) Site Link Diversity is Low (likely true) Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains (likely true) Low MozTrust or MozRank Score (true) Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains (likely true) Can you please help me to understand it, is it a crawling problem or similar? If needed I will post the url of the website. Thank you so much Marco

Spam Flags: Follow vs. No follow
In OSE, I have two spam flags, Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains and Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains. I currently have a ratio of about 3:2 followed to nofollowed. Is this spammy? Also, what is the difference between subdomains and domains in this regard?

Spam score question on shortened URLs
Hello, Our agency owns a URL, thejoint.co, specifically for url shortening. There is no content on this url. When we post client's content to social media channels, we use the shortener which 301s to the normal URL. Now, when I use Moz Open Site Explorer to view a client's webpage (http://chiropractorphoenix-thejoint.com/scottsdale/shea/ or chiropractorglendaleca-thejoint.com), I see thejoint.co with a spam score of 9. I'm looking for clarification if this is a real problem in regards to my clients website health? If so, is there any way to keep the shortner without the negative effects? Thank you, P.S. Does this mean Moz's Spam tool also recognizes Bit.ly and other similar services as spam?
