If my site doesn't have contact and about page then will my site get Moz spam?

Hi there!

Our machine learning model identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.

8. Phone Number Present Spam sites rarely have real phone numbers present on their pages.    10. Email Address Present Email addresses are almost never present on spam sites.  It's recommended to have these but it doesn't explicitly it needs to be on the contact page.

You can read more about Spam Score on our Help Hub - including an awesome video that explains how to use the score as well as the factors we use to calculate the score.

If you have any further questions, please email us at help@moz.com.

The Moz Spam Score is calculated based on a multitude of factors. Those factors are listed publicly by Moz here.

Looking over the factors, not having an "about" or "contact" page doesn't increase your spam score. Many sites nowadays are single-page, so it wouldn't make a lot of reasoning into increasing their spam score as they might have implemented the "contact" and "about" sections on the homepage.

However, you do get a higher Moz spam score if you have a low number of pages.

I'd like to also add that the Moz spam score is just an estimate by Moz generally used for measuring the quality of a site's backlinks, so it doesn't directly reflect the opinion that search engines have on the said sites.
