My website spam score just increased all of a sudden from 1% to 67%
-
As at last week, my spam score was 1% but today I checked and it was 67% how come?
I haven't built any backlinks for months now, so I don't understand why it increased...some one please help....so it could reduce back to 1% or even 0% spam score....
-
Please moz work on your errors, how will my site just get 67% spam when I have disavowed too?
-
Hello all,
I think it's an error of Moz because my website sewgadgets.com was showing a 0% spam score a few days ago. but now suddenly it went to 7%. Is it something to worry about?
Thanks
-
So what you are saying is that my spam score can never be reduced?
I feel bad whenever I see it... It was just 1% last week and this week just from no where grow to 67% when I didn't build any

So, 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). 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: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score
Best of luck, and let me know if I can help with anything else!

Disavowing the spammy domains is not supposed to reduce the spam score because Moz has no visibility of the GSC disavow list. If you disavow a spammy domain you can reduce its negative impact from the Google perspective, but your own spam score will remain unchanged.

I have disavowed the two but it's not still reducing! Mywow.ga is what's redirecting to my domain, I don't know who did it and the site isn't functioning, but it's show to give me slot of spam score....
What next now?

First of all, Google doesn't use Moz spam score: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/2440327?hl=en
So, if your Moz spam score is high because of "spammy" backlinks it doesn't mean that Google considers your site as spammy. You can check the spam score for every linking domain in the Link Explorer. If there are too "spammy" domains take the necessary actions (disavow them in GSC as the last resort).

Moz tool to estimate a website's organic traffic?
Moz has tons of great tools, so I was quite suprised there is nothing similar to Alexa's siteinfo tool, or SimilarWeb's site comparison tool. Am I missing something? Or does such a tool exists at Moz? Or is there a different way of estimating my competitor's traffic? It would be great if Moz would have something like that.
