Why Moz is showing Spam Score at my New Domain?
-
Hi folks
I just registered a new domains boring magazine but I forgot to check the spam score. Recently, I checked and it showing spam score of 46% without any backlinks. You can check the domain age is 30 Days only till now.
Need your recommendations on how can I reduce it and on which basis Moz showing it as spams?

so, has the domain name been owned before? your web designers, should be able to tell you if the domain name has been owned before, if so, make sure that the previous owners, have not completed low quality SEO as this could effect your SEO.

hey @ImranZahidAli It looks like your new domain has a high spam score right now, which can be pretty common for new sites. This usually happens because new domains don't have a lot of history, and they might have picked up some low-quality links or issues with content and SEO. To fix this, start by checking if there are any bad backlinks and disavow them if necessary. Focus on building high-quality, relevant links and make sure your content is unique and valuable. Improve your site’s SEO by optimizing title tags, meta descriptions, and headers, and ensure your site is user-friendly. Also, verify your domain’s history and make sure your registration details are clear and from a reputable registrar. Avoid any spammy SEO tactics, and engage with your audience through quality content and interactions. Regularly monitor your spam score to keep track of improvements. It may take some time, but with these steps, you should see a decrease in your spam score and a boost in your site’s reputation.

Great question! Moz's Spam Score can be a bit puzzling when it appears on a new domain. Often, this happens because Moz's algorithms assess various factors based on the link profile and overall website metrics. For new domains, even if your site is brand new, Moz might flag it due to similarities in link patterns or domain characteristics that resemble spammy sites

How to get rid of bad backlinks
So I noticed my rankings going down and spam score going up. So under my spam score there are over 100 links for different websites but ALL redirect to semalt.com I researched it and it says they hijacked a bunched of backlinks but don't know much more. How can I get rid of all those backlinks? I was told I could use the disavow tool but apparently that can hurt my ranking as well. The semalt.com site has no backlink to me - it looks like the pages that have/had my backlinks, they've redirected to them. For instance this is one of the links http://www.oxvideos.xyz/indianantyphotoxxx 422005fb-9240-40a4-8b65-f5b1f5079dea-image.png

Purchased an expiring domain, Now the pagerank has gone.
A few days ago I had asked a question regarding purchasing an expiring domain to redirect to a new related site. The post can be found here >>> http://www.seomoz.org/q/purchasing-an-expiring-domain-with-quality-related-links The domain has some great links with several being from PR5 pages on nih.gov aswell as several keyword rich domains. This made my day and I ended up paying $309 for it. So today I have the domain with the registrar network solutions who I believe are owned by Google, not sure if that is the truth or not as I can't find any info on that. now my domain is no longer indexed in Google and the toolbar's pagerank has dropped from a 4 to a 0. It was not my choice to use network solutions but namejet only use them or ENOM. I have now installed a wordpress site on the domain to see if any pagerank exist, if it does then the site will shortly be indexed in Google without me building any links to it. Just 2 days ago the site was in Google, had the correct info:domainname.com command and now the info: command shows nothing. the site is either banned or all of the actual pagerank has been removed by Google. I am a little bit dissapointed in this even though it was initially an experiment to see if I could purchase good links through expiring domains. The thing is I am seeing people purchase domains with good links in excess of $3000. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
