New Spam Analysis Tool Results Questions
-
First off, I am incredibly excited about this tool.
Secondly, I have a slew of questions, but the ones that are lingering for me are as follows.
There are a few URLS that we used to control which are showing up in our list as spammy. The websites no longer exist as of roughly a week ago and I presume they still show up simply because of the last indexing. That being said, if a website doesn't exist anymore, yet the link is showing up in our GWMT or MOZ, is it still necessary to disavow? Is that overkill?
http://alcoholdrugrehablosangeles.com/ is an example of a website we used to control and I have removed.
My second lingering question is if there are a handful of links that are registering as spammy, and I presume it is due to lack of content/duplicate content, and I move that content to its appropriate place on another website and 301 that domain to its new home, will the "spam score" carry over?
-
Sounds good! That's what I was hoping for.
I was warned early on as the Disavow is a very very powerful tool and to use it as a final step, so I have been trying to be very strategic with my usage etc.
Thanks!

The disavow tool is a the last step of a process Google outlines for dealing with spammy links. The first step being asking for the links to be removed... Since you control those sites and have deleted them you've accomplished the removal of the link, so no need to disavow. Mozscape will catch on as the index is recrawled.
For the second question, the spam score is calculated on site, so if the site where the content finds a new home has a low / non-spam score the content should lose its spammy associations. It sounds like you're cleaning up things appropriately.

Importance of Spam Score
I am wondering the importance of the Spam Score since it appears to bring backlinks into the equation. In Moz we do not currently have a Spam Score but our competitors do...please advise - thanks!

Gap between Keyword Explorer and SEPR Analysis
Hello everyone, I'm having hard time to understand something, while i'm doing a competitor analysis. I was looking at the report coming from the Keyword explorer tool, looking for one of my competitors subdomain. That's showing some keywords, but i found those keyword weird, regarding my market structure. I type a keyword i'm interested with on Google, and i found that that finally, this competitor is raking #1, but keyword explorer was not showing this particular keyword on the keyword. The SERP analysis coming from Moz is also good. Is someone already experience that issue ? Thanks

A good ranking Tool to generate reports for multiple markets
Hi, Unfortunately, Moz doesn't offer any feature to generate 1 report with the multiple keywords I have across different campaigns. Since I am running around 10-11 campaigns, it's quite time consuming to create the reports manually. Could you please suggest any good tool/service that can generate a report for multiple keywords across different campaigns ?

How is this possible, Keyword Difficulty tool has some problems
Hello guys, I have some concerns or misunderstanding. If I am about to look for [software development] using Google first, it shows that the Exact match for the keyword is 16,574, then I choose Bing and I had the same number 16,574. Yahoo is the showing the same figure. Do I miss something in here or this tool doesn't work? odd_zps2388b5a9.png
