Solved How to reduce the spam score for my domain?
-
My domain longfeifei.com is for a regular company website and someone sent a lot of external links on different low-quality websites on the internet. Now the score is very high about 75%. If I disavow the unusual links from google search console. Is it possible to reduce the spam score? Is MOZ associated with GOOGLE Data?
Thanks,

@pollyb Heya Polly!
It's not uncommon to see this sort of thing when looking a backlink data at a granular level. The data isn't updated live as crawling and indexing the web is quite a heavy load on resources to it takes time to gather and "crunch"The most important thing here is to make sure that you're using the Spam Score tool and data in the most helpful way possible. If you're exploring spammy sites linking to your site, and you're finding that they don't exist then * dusts hands * job done.
Please also note that 'disavowing' links won't impact your own site's spam score as we don't have insight into which links are 'disavowed'.If you're investigating improving your own site's Spam Score then I would recommend taking some time to explore which of the 27 flags you are triggering. We have a great guide on our Help Hub outlining what you can do to reduce your Spam Score

To reduce spam in your domain, focus on improving email authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Clean your email list regularly, avoid spammy language, and encourage recipients to engage with your emails by providing them with valuable content.

Disavowing low-quality or spammy backlinks through Google Search Console can potentially help improve your website's spam score over time. When you disavow links, you're essentially telling Google to ignore those specific links when assessing your website's credibility and authority.
Create a Disavow File: For backlinks that you're unable to remove manually, create a disavow file containing a list of URLs or domains you want Google to ignore. Google provides guidelines on how to create and submit a disavow file. Submit Disavow File: Use Google's Disavow Tool within Google Search Console to submit your disavow file. This tells Google to disregard the specified links when assessing your website's backlink profile.

Thanks,Disavowing low-quality or spammy links in Google Search Console can help improve your website's overall quality and potentially reduce any negative impact on your site's ranking caused by those links. However, it's important to note that disavowing links doesn't guarantee an immediate or significant improvement in your site's performance. It may take some time for Google to recrawl your site and take the disavowed links into account.
Regarding Moz, it's important to understand that Moz is a separate entity from Google. Moz provides its own set of tools and metrics for analyzing websites and their backlink profiles. While Moz's metrics, such as Domain Authority and Spam Score, can be useful for evaluating the quality of your backlinks, they are not directly associated with Google's search algorithms or data.
Disavowing links in Google Search Console can help address issues with Google's search algorithms, but it won't directly affect metrics provided by Moz. However, improving the quality of your backlink profile can have a positive impact on both Google's rankings and metrics provided by other platforms like Moz.
In summary, disavowing spammy links in Google Search Console can be a step towards improving your site's performance and reducing any negative effects from low-quality backlinks. While Moz provides valuable insights into your site's backlink profile, it operates independently of Google's search algorithms. Focus on improving the overall quality and relevance of your website's content and backlink profile to achieve better results in both Google and other metrics provided by platforms like Moz.

@monika_rawat
Spam Score is calculated based on 27 flags that we identified that correlate with spamminess, that means that Spam Score is based on your own site and its features, setup, and content. To reduce your Spam Score you need to work on improving your site. Please follow our guide on investigating your own site's Spam Score
Best of luck! -

@meghanpahinui your spam rank tool is terrible. Most of the websites linking to my domain don't even exist anymore, they are domains for sale. How can you give my website a bad note based on websites who don't exist, linking to pages 404? At leat the pages 404 should be taken into account. It doesn't make sense at all

Hi there!
Thank you so much for the great question and sorry for the confusion here! Moz's Spam Score is not calculated based on the Spam Scores of your inbound links but rather, it is the percentage of sites we have found to have been penalized or banned by Google which have similar on-site features.
If you're looking to improve your Spam Score on Moz, I would recommend checking out the 27 common features we identified through our machine learning model which make up this score. Working to improve those features on your site will help to improve your Spam Score. I also have a guide here from our Help Hub which talks more about Spam Score, the common features, and how to use this metric. https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score
I hope this helps! If you have follow up questions, you can always email us at help@moz.com.

Hi Niaokun,
First, of Disavow the spammy links will help with how Google sees your website.
But to reduce your spam score on MOZ etc... you will need to contact the sites that have links you want removing and ask them to remove them. This can be time-consuming and doesn't always have a high success rate.
No MOZ and Google do not share data.
I hope this helps
Steve

Unsolved Looking for someone from Moz to comment on unrealistic spam score
Two years ago I bought domain name aroundtheworldwithme.com as a travel blog. I built the site up slowly and currently have a DA of 28 with decent Google search results. However, according to Moz my spam score is 43%. I am convinced that something funny is going on to give me this spam score. I have gone though all 27 factors that play into the spam score in great detail. I only fail a few of the checks. These are the Double Click Tag, LinkedIn profile, phone number, email, and Facebook Pixel. Which as far as I know, literally zero travel blog websites provide this info. So I am on par with evert other travel blog website. Now I know Moz will say this "doesn't mean your website is spam, just that our algorithm found that websites with similar attributes are spam." But this is completely bogus. All similar websites to mine have spam scores of 1-2%. All other websites I see with spam scores over 40% are literally spam websites. Why am I literally the only legitimate travel blog site that has a spam score over 40%? My backlink profile is similar to all other travel blogs. I actually have less spammy links as most, as I haven't been around too long. So I don't think my backlinks are causing the high spam score. The only thing I can think of is that my domain name used to be owned by someone else. I have a lot of backlinks from a random blog website that were discovered in 2018, three years before I bought the domain. Is it possible that the domain used to be an actual spam site name and I am now being punished for that? If not, then I cannot think of anything that would cause my high spam score other than fundamental defects in the Moz spam score algorithm. Something is going on, and I'd love someone from Moz to actually be able to have a look at my website and tell me why I have such a high spam score. I know Google doesn't care about Moz's spam score (thankfully) but other websites don't want links from me due to my completely bogus spam score. Thanks everyone

Unsolved Spam Score Blank - Looking For Feasible Solution
Hi,
Link Explorer | | Jane090987
There is a question in my website. When I'm searching the number of spam score of my site, it shows "--".
In the official article it shows that the reason of "--" happens is that our site has not been evaluated by Moz. But there aren't any ways of solutions, seems that we can only wait - not knowing how long - for being evaluated.
Is there any way that I can get my site evaluated by Moz, and the spam score of my website can be displayed as an exact number?
Thanks for answering in advance!0 -
Domain Authority dropping for me and rival companies
Hey, I have noticed in the past week/2 weeks that my websites domain authority has dropped by 2 points but what is weird is all the other website which are our main competitors in our industry have also dropped by 2. I was wondering if anyone knows of any changes that have been made to the way the domain authority is calculated or is it just a coincident that we all dropped at one time?

1500 Domains... Where to begin? & Web Structure Question.
So, as the title says, I am stuck. I recently have been brought on as the SEO guru for a small-mid size company with the task of rebuilding their web presence. Their website is in pretty unfortunate condition. The more research I do, the farther and farther I am going down the rabbit hole of chaos. Essential the previous CEO was doing all SEO work. He purchased 1500 domains, all keyword specific. Installed wordpress on roughly 1,000 and then began pumping out content. Of the 1,000 roughly 300 of them have about 600-2,000 characters worth of content that is absolute fluff. From there the linking began. Now the content is different enough that Google doesn't seem to notice that its the SAME FREEKIN THING on each domain, but I am very concerned. The company has their main multi-page domain which has other links and sources of traffic, but in essence the previous owner created a micro link web. My advice is to cut those links ASAP and remove the previous work. At the same time, I also don't want them to lose rank. So I guess I am asking a whole slew of questions... Am I right in thinking that we have to build a bridge before we burn a bridge? Is it worth fixing up some of those other domains to have original content to try and bolster what we already have? Would it be better to combine everything into one website, or try and have different domains represent different things. For example Envato.com is an umbrella website with 8 separate websites operating under the same roof using different domains.? Where do I begin? I feel like I have started this project numerous times. I know the keywords, I know where the duplicate content is, I know the structure of the main domain, I am getting the structure of the entire link web. Lastly, any thoughts you all have would be greatly appreciated. I realistically have minimal experience in this realm. I am a a major nub. I understand SEO in theory, sorta. So I'm getting there!

Is there any way to change the domain in a campaign here?
When I started the campaign I used site.com but now I have an external blog at blog.site.com and is hosted on tumblr. This site gets lots of errors showing on the campaign because insists on following no-follows. If I change the campaign to www.site.com then blog.site.com will not be part of the campaign. It does say in the help that it will NOT track sub-domains, but it does and hence my problem. So, I am not sure if the rest of the info there is old. 'Does the Web App track the subdomains of my campaign’s domain?
Moz Pro | | oznappies
A. Unfortunately we do not currently track subdomains as a part of the
domain you enter. Instead, you must create another campaign slot for any
subdomains you wish to track.' Any ideas on where or how to do this?0
