Hey there,
I've been through the same struggle with my site, kenumerque, a while back. The spam score was quite high, and I knew it could harm my site's reputation and search engine rankings.
After some digging, I found out that a significant factor contributing to the high spam score was a bunch of poor-quality backlinks pointing to my site. It's essential to ensure the quality of the sites linking back to you because spammy or irrelevant backlinks can negatively impact your site's trustworthiness.
Here's what I did to combat this:
-
Identify the Bad Links: The first step was to get a comprehensive list of all the backlinks pointing to my site. I used tools like Moz, Ahrefs, or Google Search Console to identify these links.
-
Analyze the Quality: Once I had the list, I manually reviewed each link. It's a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. I looked out for sites that were unrelated to my niche, had poor content, or seemed spammy in nature.
-
Disavow the Links: After shortlisting the bad links, I used the Google Disavow Tool. This tool allows you to tell Google to ignore specific backlinks when considering your site's ranking. Make sure to be careful with this tool; you don’t want to disavow links that could be beneficial to your site.
Within a few weeks, I noticed a significant drop in my site's spam score. It's a continuous process, though. It's essential to keep monitoring your backlinks regularly and act if you notice any suspicious links pointing to your site.
I hope my experience with kenumerque helps you. Remember, quality over quantity always. Good luck!

Find all the spam inbound links to your website, you can use Ahrefs or Moz for this. Create a disavow file that includes all the spam links and upload the file to Google here: Google Search Console
The next time your website is crawled, Google will ignore the links you disavowed and hence this will lower your spam score.

@webnewsobserver Hi, Moz Spam Score at 11% may be a matter of concern for your website.
But there is only one way to reduce this. For that, you have to maintain good-quality backlinks for your website.
One way to do that is to remove spammy backlinks and the other way is to keep making good-quality backlinks so that percentage of bad backlinks becomes less.
The second method is tried and tested and good in the long run as you keep adding good quality backlinks. I reduced spam score of my own website https://bloggingidol.com and yes don't forget to check article recommended by Moz Staff @jocameron

I am using Moz to assess the quality of my site in terms of SEO. Recently, I discovered that my spam score is comparatively high, and following suggestions from others in the forum, I have disavowed the bad links using Google Search Console. However, I don't see any change in the spam score rating even after 2 months.
Please suggest what I should do now to reduce the spam score of my site.

It's helpful, and the most working method is removing the backlink from the unauthorized or spammy web. After removing some backlinks from there google automatically reduce the spam score.

Hi there,
Jo from the Help Team here.
Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google. To improve this score I would recommend reading our guide which explains the 27 factors used to make up this score. You can then look at your site and investigate areas you would like to improve on your site:

Best of luck!

UPDATE: Rolling back an adjustment which had adverse effects on DA and PA scores.
UPDATE: Yesterday's (June 4, 2018) adjustment to our DA/PA metrics turned out to have some unanticipated adverse effects. We're rolling back the adjustment, so by midday tomorrow you should see your scores return to what they were earlier this week. We're also implementing some new procedural checks on our end to help make sure it doesn't happen again. We sincerely apologize for any stress or burden this may have caused. We also want to emphasize that DA and PA are relative metrics. The scores will fluctuate slightly with the index, and for that reason, should be used to compare your site with others. We realize this isn't always easy to explain to clients and stakeholders, so we're working on ways to help you all report these metrics in ways that minimize the potential for confusion. ****** We are continuing to improve our Domain Authority and Page Authority algorithms and strengthen our link index. As of today, June 14, 2018, You may notice a slight variation in current and historic DA/PA scores in Link Explorer and tools that incorporate our new link data such as Campaigns, Keyword Explorer, and MozBar. This is due to a planned adjustment on our end that could be more noticeable than our standard updates. We made this adjustment in order to account for the rapid growth of our link index over the past 6 months and and stabilize distribution of scores over time. For customers who have been tracking DA scores over time, you may want to make note of this adjustment date in your reporting. Rest assured that our DA and PA scores are still far more stable and accurate than they were previously in Open Site Explorer. Our index is now 20 times larger (and growing) and updating daily rather than monthly, therefore standard fluctuations in the index are far less noticeable in your score than before. DA and PA will still always fluctuate slightly and naturally with the index. As the landscape of the internet changes, so should our index to reflect those changes. Whenever we make an update on our end that could be noticeable on your end, we will let you know. Also, please remember that DA and PA scores should always be understood as relative to other sites’ scores in the index, and reported to clients in relation to their competition and not as a standalone metric of individual performance. If you have more questions about DA or the difference between the new score in Link Explorer vs. the old score in OSE, please read this FAQ page, or post a question below and I or a Mozzer will reach out. Thank you! Ian

Understanding spam analysis score
Hi there, I recently started looking into SEO and joined the Moz community. I'm trying to understand why my spam analysis score is so high (9/17). Our competitors look to have much lower spam scores so I'm wondering if this is negatively affecting our search engine rankings. Our website is www.tdgbs.com.au. We are a small accounting firm in a rural Australian community. I've read as much as I can find about the spam analysis score but am still unsure how to fix it. According to Moz, our website has the following spam flags: **Low MozTrust or Moz Rank Score, Large Site With Few Links, Small Proportion of Branded Links: **I understand that all of these in theory have to do with the fact that we have only one incoming link. We are working on this. What confuses me is that our main competitors also only have one or two incoming links and don't seem to raise this flag. Again, we are a small company in a small community so there are only really a small number of links we can cultivate before it gets too spammy. **Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains/Domains: **Again, I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that we have only one incoming (followed) link, but again, our competitors don't seem to raise this flag. Is there a reason why only one link would raise this flag? **Thin Content: **We do have some short articles but I didn't think they would be short enough to warrant a "thin content" flag. Again, some of our competitors have pages that our just as short and don't have this flag. **Low Number of Internal Links: **We do have internal links, so I'm wondering if they're not getting picked up for some reason? I did go through and add a few more today, but I don't want it to be too overwhelming. **No Contact Info: **We do have contact info, and plenty of it, so I'm not sure why we're raising this flag. **Low Number of Pages Found: **We do have a decent number of pages (I would have thought), and again, no less than our competitors. I've tested on Google and it looks like it is getting a valid response to our pages. I've been tasked with improving our SEO relative to our competitors and I'm wondering if these flags have to do with the fact that we're ranking lower. Our website is relatively new (2 months) and our domain name is also newer than our competitors, so I'm wondering if that's impacting things. Any insight you could provide on how to reduce the spam score would be great. Thank you!

Which trumps: spam ranking or domain authority?
I am trying to manage my backlinks by removing ones with high spam links, but I am having trouble drawling the line between helpful/harmful links. One link, for instance, has a span ranking of 7 indicating a 30% chance of penalization from Google crawlers. This same link, however, also boasts a domain authority of 67 which indicates it is also potentially helpful to my own Google crawler success. My question is, which of these scores (spam rank and domain authority) trumps the other? Should I try to get the site owner to remove it? Am I even thinking about this issue correctly? If so, how would you suggest I draw the line in the future? Ben

Moz Spam Score
Hi! The spam score for my sites is "--" with no graph. The sites are large ecommerce sites with a ton of branded search and DAs of 50+. Simple question - are these clean spam scores, or has Moz not calculated the scores yet?
