    Some websites are designed and marketed in such a way as to only please the search engines for a short time. They end up with spammy link profiles that have little no worth. Google does not want to spend time and resources on sites with bad link profiles. Have you ever come across a great domain name that nobody wants? There is a reason that a good-sounding domain is still available; this is because previous owners were very likely to be spammers while this isn't always the case most of the time it really usually is the case. These domains are called Churn-and-Burn domains they are undesirable, to say the least. If you are or have bought a domain name like this it's always best to get a backlink audit done on the domain and then disavow any toxic links.

          @dv123569 Well the first thing to do would be to stop spamming just like you have here!

          That would be a very good start

            Don't worry about the spam score. It's just a third-party metric google does not consider it. If you want to reduce your spam score, then google has its own disavow tool to identify links from any 3rd party tools and disavow it. Recently someone created links on my site [https://unit52.pk/], and I use the Google disavow tool

              Hi there,
              Please start by investigating what is triggering these Spam Score flags on your, or your client's site. To start making improvements please review the factors that make up spam score, and then I would recommend that you prioritise what improvements you can make on your own site and its features, setup, and content with minimal disruption.

              Best of luck!
              Jo

                Hi there!
                First off, we do not recommend disavowing backlinks unless you have a Google penalty. Disavowing is unlikely to improve your Spam Score and, as you've experienced, can affect your site's authority and have wider implications.

                Before disavowing please review Google documentation, if you see adverse affects you may want to consider removing the disavow.
                If you're working on improving Spam Score on your client's site then it is worth explaining that Spam Score reflects features on your site that may correlate with spammy sites. So you will need to investigate what is triggering these Spam Score flags on your client's site and figure out whether there is any room for improvement. The end goal isn't to reduce spam score to 0, but to identify areas for improvement It may be worth exploring your client's competitor's Spam Score to set expectations.
                I hope this helps give you some ideas on how to progress! Do let me know how you get on 🙂

                  Ill give this to you straight up.

                  It's as simple as this. Spam score is not something Google looks at. For many years now Google's AI is designed to totally ignore bad links. So instead of penalising a site for spammy links they just ignore them.

                  Why?

                  Okay check this out.

                  Google has become a little bit more fair. They have no way of telling if the website owner built the spammy links or if it was some kind of negative SEO attack. So they decided the best thing to do was to just ignore bad links and not take them into consideration.

                  If you are still concerned about a certain kind of link you can use the Google disavow links tool.

                  One thing to note when using this tool. Beware. Make sure you know exactly what you are doing with it. You could actually decrease your search engine position if used incorrectly.

                  Second thing to note. Only use the file upload with this tool once ever 40 days as it make take up to 40 days for Google to crawl your file upon each request. So if you use it on day one and then use it again on day 15 it will reset the time it takes for the disavow file to be crawled again.

                  There is nothing to worry about in regards to having a high spam score in terms of SERP. It's just a link quality indication.

                  Hope that clears things up everything for everyone 🙂

                    Please note that Spam Score updates quarterly, so any changes you've made to the features on your site that correspond to Spam Score flags won't update immediately.

                    I hope this helps!

                          Hi @jocameron My site's spam score has increased from 1% to 34% in 2 just 2 months of period. My site has a lot of spam backlinks so I had disavowed every spammy backlink.
                          Now as I can see after disavowing domains my ranking is down.
                          I've already checked the investigation spam score from MOZ but I've not found any other error related only spam score.
                          Regards;

                                  Looking in Link Explorer I can see that your Spam Score is 5%, anything under 30% is considered low, and the end goal isn't to get to 0, but rather to identify areas of your site that can be improved
                                  Please take a look at our guide on investigating spam score.
                                  It’s important to remember that Spam Score is NOT a measurement of the spamminess of links pointing to your site. It is NOT dependent on your backlink profile but instead represents the percentage of sites with similar features to the site you’re researching which we've found to be penalized or banned by Google.

                                  I hope this helps!

                                    Hii,

                                    I'm also working on one website which is related to health news. Since 2015 its spam score is 1% which is considered to be a low spam score.

                                    Generally, when you start with a fresh and new website. It will show the 1% spam score. However, if your new website shows a spam score of more than 10% then look at the 27 factors or signals to determine spam score by moz.

                                                      Here are some quick wins to lower your spam score

                                                      Create a text version.
                                                      Avoid usage of spam-sensitive words and phrases.
                                                      Use normal text inside hyperlinks, instead of the URL.
                                                      Use a proper from address.
                                                      Use a proper subject line.
                                                      Avoid HTML errors, unsupported techniques, obscure content, obfuscation.
                                                      Images.
                                                      HTML.

                                                        @designbump Hi there!
                                                        A score of 1%-30% is considered a Low Spam Score.

                                                        If you look at the 27 factors or signals we use to determine Spam Score (https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score#spam-score-signals)
                                                        There are two that may be impacted by the quantity of outbound links:
                                                        20. Number of External Outlinks Spam sites are more likely to have abnormally high or low external outlinks.

                                                        1. Number of Domains Linked-To Spam sites are more likely to have abnormally high or low unique domains to which they link.

                                                        However these are just two of 27 factors that are considered as part of Spam Score.

                                                        Spam Score represents the percentage of sites with similar features to the site you’re researching which we've found to be penalized or banned by Google. Spam Score is based on our machine learning model which identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.

                                                        It's best used in the context of reviewing the overall quality of your site so that it best serves your users.
                                                        If you do make changes please note that Spam Score is updated quarterly, however we don't currently have an exact date of when the next update is due.
                                                        I hope this helps!
                                                        Jo

                                                          A score of 31%-60% is considered a Medium Spam Score.

                                                          A score of 61%-100% is considered a High Spam Score.

                                                          A high Spam Score for your site, or a site you're looking at, doesn't mean this site is necessarily spammy, or doesn't have great backlinks. It's a sign that you should do some more investigation into the quality and relevance the features on the site you're investigating.

                                                          There is a great video on Spam Score on our Help Hub here https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

I've gone through every post on my site and removed any links to non-reputable websites. However, it still remains at 10%. I'm not even sure how often they rescan the website and update their records because nothing has really changed in over a year, despite my efforts.

Someone making spammy backlinks for my website and my spam score became 2% to 15%. I am so much confused about it. How can I decrease my spam score? I add a spammy backlink in the search console to remove from google.

                                                                  But after 1 week my spam score has not changed.

                                                                  Please I need a Suggestion. What can I do??

                                                                          My site techsaa.com has spam score 20. I disavowed 89 spam domains through Google disavow tool a month ago but still moz is showing spam score.

                                                                          Can you please guide me how long Google or Moz takes to disavow that links, or Is there any tool inside Moz that we can submit a list of spam domains or tell moz that my site have no relation with that spammy sites. because we all don't know who is linking our domains.

                                                                          Hope for the best answer

                                                                          Thank You

I am little concerned if it continues to grow what action can we take? I know quality backlinks are important and we are doing what we can but it's getting serious now.

                                                                                                        Hi All, What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website. Lets say if i have a website xyz.com (which provide pest control services in New York City) and I want to create third party blogs on platforms like blogspot, weebly etc so should i create the blog url as xyz.blogspot.com or i can use a keyword in the blog URL such as pestcontrolnyc.blogspot.com? Which URL would be the best as per Google's guidelines. Note: I have already have a blog within the domain as xyz.com/blog/ and i do weekly posting on this blog. But at the same time i want to create 1-2 third party blogs to get some backlinks from other sources.

                                                                                                        Link Building | Jul 21, 2017, 7:00 PM | Mr.Suren

                                                                                                        Hi, I search in google but didnt find a proper answer for this! maybe search an incorrect keyword! The question is, How can I find out a website that I'm going to make a backlink on is a spammy website? For example I did this guest bloging on this good website: Best Sure-Shot Organic Pest Control Approaches Every Gardener Should Know | Balcony Garden Web But it seems to be spammy because I use SEO POWERSUIT software that shows this backlink is 20% risk of google penalty! Is it right!? So how can we rest assured for making a quality backlink? I can not think any other way 😞

                                                                                                        I have a client who has an opportunity to sponsor a prestigious national organisation. In return, they will get 200+ links from the websites of the organisation's members. Most of which are DA 40+.None of the linking sites have any relevance to my client's industry.1) How likely do you think it is that Google will view these as paid links?2) Do you feel that there is potential harm in gaining this many non-relevant links in a short time-frame?3) The client wants me to quantify the ranking benefits of gaining these links and calculate a potential ROI. If that's even possible, how would you go about that?Thanks in advance

                                                                                                        I wondered if people had a list of the top five or ten links you should build for a new website in order to add some sense of authority. For example should a new website start with key social media websites such as Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin ? Or top level directories such as BOTW and DMOZ? Should they local for niche website directories in their location or vertical? If you had to choose five links - free or paid which would they be?

                                                                                                        I was wondering if backlinks from foreign language webistes can help me in ranking? For example: I ve got website in slovak language and I would place article with backlink on the foreign language website.  In which language should be the text surrounding the keyword?
