Anyone Know How Accurate The Spam Analysis Score Is?
-
Hello,
I have a website whose spam analysis is showing a score is a 6 but when I look at the my links, I only have one link that is showing up as a 5. I look at all the subdomains and root domain and I am just curious if I should be worried or that this is quite common. Thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi Errick!
I'm obviously pretty biased, but I feel it's pretty accurate. The trick is to understand what it's measuring, and the thought behind its correlative analysis.
Have you had the chance to read Rand's blog post on Spam Score?

Hey Errick,
I don't feel it is that reliable at all. Once of my sites has had a spam score on 9 since I started working on it.
Ive worked on it for 4 months to lower it and nothing happens even though I've addressed 90% of the issues and "indicators"
I hope you come right with yours though.

Hi Errick,
I am sorry that you ran into this and I would be happy to take a look. We may need to take a look at the site so I will create a ticket for you in our help system and hopefully get it sorted.
If you have any questions for me in the meantime though let me know and I would be happy to take a look.
Hope this helps and I look forward to speaking with you!

How Much Time It Will Take To Lower the Spam Score?
I'm facing an issue with my website. Due to little to no knowledge about link building and backlink, i created backlinks without checking the quality and spam score of the sites. Now there are many sites linking to my website but the overall spam score is very high of my website and my domain is reviewheart.com that i'm talking about. I have created a list and disavowed all he poor linking domains but still no improvement shown. Can anyone have the idea how much time moz will take to show the updated spam score as i have disavowed all the low quality spammed linking site?

Understanding Keyword Explorer SERP Analysis
Hi Guys Based on the attached SERP analysis provided by Keyword Explorer, the term 'silver jewelry' appears to have a lot of potential; it has good search volume, high opportunity and potential scores; however when you look at the metrics associated with the top 3 competing sites, and the fact page 1 is dominated by major brands with equally good metrics, then a difficulty score of 26, meaning easy; seems a bit unrealistic. I would like to hear what others have to say, or am I missing something here. Regards Peter H96KVmH

Hi Everyone, Just wondering if you all have been noticing inaccurate information in the rank tracker tool. Many terms are showing not in top 50, yet when i search from random devices that have never accessed my website before i find the url to be in the top 50. Anyone experiencing similar issues and anyone have any ideas why the inconsistency? Thanks

Is there a good local competitive analysis tool for the UK
Hello Mozers I have learnt from the forum about the competitive analysis tool http://www.51blocks.com/online-marketing-tools/free-local-analysis/ and followed the link - only to find that it is for the US. I'm in the UK and need to access this for google.uk - does anyone know of a UK equivalent? Could I also check with the forum to ask the question that got me into this in the first place. It's probably a daft question. For the Ranking report in Moz, do I just need to put the local city name in front of the keyword to get the local rank. I have been doing this and assuming it's ok, and my local ranking does show up. Thanks Catherine

Has anyone else noticed MozRank seems to be messed up?
Is it just me or is the MozRank in the current index totally screwed up? I'm seeing sites with DA lower than 40 with MozRanks above 6 and sometimes 7 constantly.

Since the revised website was launched, I can't find the "Crawl Test" function showing Titles and Descriptions of other websites. Anyone know where that link is located?
MOZ can "crawl" any website and show information like Title, Description, etc.....Can't find that link.
