Thank you for the clarifications Eli!

Can you please address the following question too please:

«I don't see "inbound links" as a factor in the spam score list. At least I can't see any of those 27 common features referring to how the quality (or spam level) of the inbound links can also dictate what our spam score will be.
Can you please confirm if our site's inbound links are a factor in our own spam score? If so, which one of those 27 common features refers to it?»

Thank you,

Guilherme

Can anyone please try to answer the above?

Thanks,

Guilherme

Hello Eli!

I've got that exact answer multiple times already and it's not helping my case. I've gone through the 27 common features and looking at each one of them, I still can't understand how the spam score is at 39% unless one in particular weighs a lot more than others (I gave the linkedin profile link as an example on my first post).

Also, I don't see inbound links as a factor in the spam score. At least I can't see any of those 27 common features referring to how the quality (or spam level) of the inbound links can also dictate what our spam score will be.

Can you please confirm if our site's inbound links are a factor in our own spam score? If so, which one of those 27 common features refers to it?

Hi!

Yes, there was a huge increase in the amount of domains and inbound links pointing to my site since November 2017:
https://gyazo.com/9ad57a437dc9fa3ab59f91821f60c43c

I'd say that 99% of the domains and inbound links that appeared since November 2017 are spammy/unwanted and I've already submitted a disavow file to Google a few days ago containing several thousands of domains in order to tackle this Google-wise. However, the disavow file I submitted to Google won't have any impact in terms of what we see on MOZ (the links/domains will still be there) and if they are indeed the main reason for my Spam Score to be at 39%, there's not much I can do about it.

I'd just like to have a confirmation from anyone from MOZ that these thousands of spammy links are the ones responsible for the spam score to have gone to a value such as 39%.

What's even more curious though, is that if we go through the "27 common features" that MOZ uses as signals for the Spam Score, we can't really see one explicitly referring to how the quality of inbound links are part of the spam score measure.

Hi!

My Spam Score is indicating 39% on MOZ and I can't identify that many signals from the 27-signal list that could be actually raised in order for the score to show such a high value like this. My website is Ronaldo7.net,

Is there anyone who could help me understanding what signals exactly I should pay more attention and eventually fix them so the spam score reduces drastically?

Are all these Spam Score signals weighed equally? (for example, I don't have a LinkedIn profile/link for my site, so should I assume that for not having it my spam score increases 3-4% (27/100)? I don't think that's the case, so I would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right directions in order to help me reducing the spam score.

One final question, is this Spam Score updated on a daily/weekly or monthly basis?

Regards,

Guilherme
