Website showing High Spam Score
-
I am having a website https://www.hemporganic.net/
Suddenly I am noticing the website showing around 42% spam score. I simply cannot understand the reason behind it. The website contains only one backlink and that too it is guest posting backlink. Please explain to me why this is occurring with my site.

If your business has a very high spam score, this could possibly be because a lot of spam backlinks have been built for that website?

Hi!
I have 2 websites https://mytinytoys.com and https://zitechnicalservicesuae.com those websites have spam score and thier backlinks have above 20% spam score how to remove backlink. -
We had a website that had many spam links, and this will negatively affect the business's SEO.
So, do fix this by hiring a SEO consultant, to fix the problem.
We had this same problem with a demolition business, which really damaged the company's organic seo, so if you have spam links, consult with an seo agency straightaway.

Also, many people don't know this, for an example, you have spam score at MOZ 20,30 but you have just a few backlinks with also big spam score then you go and find links with spam score 0,1,2 and connect with them you will see as many links with lower spam score you connect your spam score is going down. LIKE SOME WAGE.

Moz calculate the spamscore based on different factors like onsite and offsite factors.
Offsite factors: backlinks' quality, backlinks' spam links, backlinks' penalty, backlinks' backlink
Onsite factors: spammy content, 4xx/5xx errors for pages you have built backlinks.
Backlink quality what matters for each search engine, if a spam website is linking to your website then your website might get spam.
Backlinks' spam links: Sometimes you don't check each website you build backlink on. Their backlinks sometimes get spammy, so you get the risk also.
Backlinks' content: Backlinks' quality is measured by its content. Most of the link builders just put content on the website and paste their links. They don't post quality content, so that content doesn't get internally linked or externally. So, such links on high authority websites are called spammy backlinks. It won't affect that website but yours.
OnSite Factors: The major factor which is neglected is that you removed a page from your website either to remove duplicate content or merge them or delete it, you have to put the 301 redirections of to a similar page. Normally 4xx/5xx pages are noindex by default in every CMS. To transfer its link juice/authority you need to put 301 redirection.
I got a project "Boston criminal Defense Lawyer" the previous link builder built too many web 2.0's with spun content, there were nearly 1000 web 2.0s. Web 2.0s are normally good if high-quality content is written and updated regularly. But he used just spun content with exact match keyword. That cost the project drop ranking and lost google's trust on the domain. Hence those web 2.0 has no spam score so our website didn't have spam score.
If you have a paid subscription of Moz, then you should do at least do your website's audit every month. This can help you keep your website spam free. Also, keep your backlinks in check with Moz link checking tool.

With what tool you are checking this?

Hi there!
Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google (it's not based on the Spam Score of the sites linking to you). Our machine learning model identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.
Your Spam Score - This does not mean that your site is definitely spammy. The percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to change these factors on your site, but it may be worthwhile to consider them. It is best to use this percentage figure to judge the quality of inbound links to your site, giving you a signal to help you determine which of those links needs some further investigation and, perhaps, even removal.
Another site's Spam Score - Again, this doesn't mean that these sites are spammy. This percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is just based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to disregard sites or disavow links with higher Spam Scores. Instead, we'd recommend using it as a guide for kick starting investigations. Be sure to check out a site's content and its relevance in linking back to you before disregarding or disavowing.
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:

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

Spam Score and crawling of my site
Hello, I'm trying to analyze the spam score of my site which is 9/17 Actually I have few backlinks and all of them have a low spam score (max 4/17, just one). I think there's some kind of issue with the crawler since I get strange spam factors: Large Site with Few Links (likely true, I recently deleted a lot of tags used once) Low Number of Pages Found (wasn't it a "Large Site"??) Low Number of Internal Links (I got a considerable number) No Contact Info (I have a link to my facebook in the menu and a "contacts" page) Thin Content (It's just a blog with min 300 words per post, why thin?) Site Link Diversity is Low (likely true) Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains (likely true) Low MozTrust or MozRank Score (true) Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains (likely true) Can you please help me to understand it, is it a crawling problem or similar? If needed I will post the url of the website. Thank you so much Marco

Why does OSE show different link equity for homepage with and without trailing slash?
Hi all, I am working with a developer who believes OSE (Open Site Explorer) is flawed. His reasoning is that OSE shows completely different link equity and domain authority for these two URLs [company name is purposely withheld]: http://www.mydomain.com/us/ and http://www.mydomain.com/us NOTE: http://www.mydomain.com/us has been properly 301-redirecting to http://www.mydomain.com/us/ for years. The developer's argument is that the URL that is being 301-redirected shouldn't have any link equity at all, therefore OSE is flawed. Here is the response I would like to give him. Please feel free to poke holes, provide feedback or flat out correct me if I am wrong: Dear inquisitive developer, Any URL that is being linked to by another site that has link equity will get link equity passed to it. This is true even if the URL is a page that doesn't exist. What it can't do (if it doesn't exist) is then pass that link equity on to another page. Moz's OSE is showing separate link equity for the two versions of this URL because other sites have linked to both versions. The fact that one 301-redirects to the other is good and ensures that link equity from one is passing to the preferred URL. The 301-redirect does not, however, remove link equity from the first URL, but rather passes the existing link equity from one to the other. Consequently, Moz's OSE is not flawed, but rather is displaying the link equity of one URL that is benefiting the other via a 301-redirect. Sincerely, Dana
