Hi there!
Our machine learning model identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.
8. Phone Number Present Spam sites rarely have real phone numbers present on their pages. 10. Email Address Present Email addresses are almost never present on spam sites. It's recommended to have these but it doesn't explicitly it needs to be on the contact page.
You can read more about Spam Score on our Help Hub - including an awesome video that explains how to use the score as well as the factors we use to calculate the score.
If you have any further questions, please email us at help@moz.com.

The Moz Spam Score is calculated based on a multitude of factors. Those factors are listed publicly by Moz here.
Looking over the factors, not having an "about" or "contact" page doesn't increase your spam score. Many sites nowadays are single-page, so it wouldn't make a lot of reasoning into increasing their spam score as they might have implemented the "contact" and "about" sections on the homepage.
However, you do get a higher Moz spam score if you have a low number of pages.
I'd like to also add that the Moz spam score is just an estimate by Moz generally used for measuring the quality of a site's backlinks, so it doesn't directly reflect the opinion that search engines have on the said sites.

Does Moz DotBor crawler is the slowest than earlier?
I have these websites https://www.interessanter.com/ and https://www.techniken.net/ I managed to create quality links and reach Ahrefs DR 46 and even TF 20 in a few months, but on my server logs, I haven´t seen any DOT bot logs. It only crawls you if you are linked to a very high DA site now? To be honest I placed here those links ask in order to see if that helps. I remember that last year it wasn't like that. If someone can point me in the right direction to increase DA and PA I will really appreciate it. THANKS!

Number of Pages Crawled dropped significantly
Number of total pages crawled on the latest report is about half the number from one week ago. No major changes to the site. Number of issues also dropped (not surprisingly). Why has the number dropped so significantly from week to week?

And are the issues actually cleared up, or just not counted because the crawl is so much smaller?0 -
Sitemaps and Indexed Pages
Hi guys, I created an XML sitemap and submitted it for my client last month. Now the developer of the site has also been messing around with a few things. I've noticed on my Moz site crawl that indexed pages have dropped significantly. Before I put my foot in it, I need to figure out if submitting the sitemap has caused this.. can a sitemap reduce the pages indexed? Thanks David.

Bulk Page Authority Tracking
Hi Is there a way in Moz to identify your page authority by landing page, possibly crawling the site and providing this in bulk so you don't have to go through and check each page? I want to track how my page authority for certain pages moves over time. Thank you

3 result limit to Top Pages API call
I am using the MOZ API to make calls for the top pages for a particular URL. However, when I pass in any limit value greater than 3 the API only returns 3 results. I have even tried to put in URLs like 'www.moz.com' and still only 3 results. Sample call to the API below: http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/top-pages/www.moz.com?AccessID=member-xxxxxxxxx&Expires=1419020831&Signature=xxxxxxxxx&Cols=2052&Offset=0&Limit=50
