Suggestion "How can I improve my website"
-
Hi Folks ,
I'm trying to help my friend , I need your suggestion.
I gathered all the data , Please find the attachment , our spam score is 5 as compared with competitors
0 root domain 0 total links
1.)How can we increase the page authority ?
2.)Should i buy more backlinks ? Which website you will recommend me ?
3.) How can i reduce my spam score to 0 or 1 ? I'm not sure about the links which are attached to my website? However, I read in moz article it could be because large domain and few links. It doesn't show any thing on open site explorer.
It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL.
- We are running google ads , Facebooks ads and twitter.

Hi Hemant,
Unfortunately for you, Moz's spam score is doing its job very well here - there is a lot of spam in your backlink profile.
Looking at your list of referring domains, there are a lot of .ru, .in. .jp links etc which is strange for a US dentist, particularly when they're not in English.
The anchor profile is a pretty good indication of spam here as well: no mention of the company name and in the top 20 most used anchors, only 1 of those isn't a blatant keyword. The other signal I noticed that's often an indication of spam is the fact that you went from 25 links to 411 in a couple of days.
Basically, the best way to lower your spam score is to lower your spam Quality links should be relevant to what you do and from high quality websites.

Any time! ^_^

Thanks Matt! I'm not OP here but looking into how this is calculated has been on my to-do list for far too long

This post should shed some light on how Spam Score is calculated, as should this Whiteboard Friday. It's calculated differently from, say, Domain or Page Authority, which are nearly straight link metrics. I'd recommend going through both, as they'll give you a much better sense of how to lower your score.

Hi Hemantt,
It's difficult to say without having your domain name and I honestly don't know enough about how Moz generates their spam score metric to give you an accurate answer as to why you have a 5.
That said:
1.)How can we increase the page authority ? Building high quality backlinks will increase your page authority.
2.)Should i buy more backlinks ? Which website you will****recommend me ? This is an easy one: no. Buying backlinks is a great way to increase your spam score
3.) How can i reduce my spam score to 0 or 1 ? I'm not sure about the links which are attached to my website? However, I read in moz article it could be because large domain and few links. It doesn't show any thing on open site explorer.
As I mentioned, I'm not 100% sure this metric is generated but I'd expect that building high quality backlinks to your landing pages will lower this score. Having few links would give you low Page Authority and Domain Authority but I doubt it would increase your spam score unless you only had a handful of links and they were mostly bad.

Please tell me why we can't outrank a competitor with such poor metrics
Hi ! New here I'm trying to help a customer rank in the 1st page on a low-mid competition term in a specific city. I did a comparison of both URL in MOZ "Compare link Metrics" & we beat them on 85% of the metrics. They are on the 1st page, often top-3, the closest position we can get is about 13-15. The only higher metric they have is Domain MozRank & MozTrust + equity passing link (??) We are running WordPress with Genesis, they are running a custom site. See attached printscreen of the report. Help ! b60HidT

Is it worth tracking both "keyword" and "keyword near me" for a nation-wide directory?
We're a directory of industry-specific services, so a lot of people find their way to our site by searching something like "tire repair near me." For every keyword we rank for, ("tire repair"), we also rank for the "near me" version, ("tire repair near me"). I'm looking for opinions on if is worth spending ~50% of the keywords included in my plan to track these "near me" keywords, or if we would be better off tracking some of the most important "near me" keywords, and some of those same base keywords on a local basis for major population centres, (for example "tire repair nyc"). What does the forum think?

Does anyone have stats or know where I can find stats on searchers who use geolocated queries versus geomodified?
My client is a franchise business and they want their location landing pages to rank for every one of their 60 plus locations nationwide. They are performing extremely well for geomodified terms. The argument is that people rarely ever search using the city name. Are there stats to back up whether this claim is true, and if so, do you know where I can get a hold of such data (outside of searching in Keyword Planner... unless that's the answer!)

Two websites, same business name, same NAP
Hi, A client of mine offers loft conversions and wants to make a go of it. So he has a website dedicated to loft conversions. He is also a joiner/carpenter and has another old website which offers general joinery work and insurance work. Both websites have the same business name and same address and phone number. There is only one Google place page for the loft conversions website. The loft conversions website is not ranking as well as we would like locally. Could it be due to the same NAP? What are the best options? Redirect the old website to the loft conversions one (he might not like that idea) Change the address and phone number on one website?(and all subsequent citations?) Would love some help on this!

Benefits of "Buffer Websites" Marketing for Real Estate Firm.
A local seo firm has approached us and mentioned that we should incorporate something called buffer websites into our SEO. I work with a Houston based real estate agency that sells single family homes. In a nut shell they suggested that we create 5-10 separate standalone websites that each have 40-50 pages of unique copy for specific targeted keywords of our choosing. The idea would by that all these websites and copy would all point back to our main website and help generate substantial traffic. This concepts seems to have been a couple years ago and now sure if we should go this route. Would we be better off just building unique copy on the main site and not focus on the 5-10 websites we would need to deal with? C

Is there a tool out there that can help me determine how people in a particular area search for things?
I'm attempting to create geo-specific landing pages for a client. For example if I'm targeting southern Milwaukee very specifically I'd have to target Oak Creek, South Milwaukee, Bay View, etc. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to create landing pages for every one of those. Is there a tool to help with this issue? The tool I use right now is this http://www.5minutesite.com/local_keywords.php I like it for getting the names of every city/village/town in the area. However, it doesn't answer the nagging question ... how do people search for services in those areas?
