National SEO
-
Hi,
I have a serious problem with the domain Spam Score (44%) which seems to have a direct impact on the website ranking nationwide in Germany. The domain itself is not Spammy as I managed to disallow all the unwanted Backlinks and the domain is not penalised by Google Search Console. It ranks very well locally for local keywords but would not show among the 100 positions nationwide as it used to do a couple of years ago, even if I implemented the right SEO strategies and the right backlinks, it just doesn't rank in Germany for national SEO.
This is the website in question: Übersetzungsbüro Kaiwords, do you think there is a way to lower the Spam Score, is there any chance that the website ranks again for national SEO? -
@sarahwalsh the website would appear within the 100 first positions and then it would not show anymore. It has been like that since some time now. When I created this page about sworn translation Englisch-German agency in Baden-Baden it appears almost directly on the first page of local search.
This is also the case with every other new page created for the purpose of local search ranking. So I may think it's a question of time and of getting more quality BLs. -
It could just be, that the businesses now on page one of Google, have more quality do-follow links, where is the business ranked nationally at the moment? We had a similar problem with our own SEO agency, yet building more quality links, we are starting to get back on page one again.

perhaps by featuring content related to international Dubai projects.
Are you serious now? This is most irrelevant "whatever" I have seen so far.

Dealing with a high Spam Score can indeed be challenging, especially when it affects your nationwide ranking. One effective strategy is to focus on improving the overall quality and authority of your domain by acquiring high-quality backlinks from reputable sites, perhaps by featuring content related to international Dubai projects. Additionally, consider conducting a thorough audit of your site's content and technical SEO to ensure there are no lingering issues. By continually improving these aspects, you can gradually lower your Spam Score and potentially regain your national SEO ranking in Germany.

Audit Backlinks: Ensure all low-quality or spammy backlinks are disavowed using Google's Disavow Tool. Regularly audit and disavow new spammy backlinks.
Content Quality: Focus on creating high-quality, relevant content that attracts natural backlinks from reputable sites.
Technical SEO: Ensure your website's technical aspects (like site speed, mobile-friendliness, structured data, etc.) are optimized for performance.
Local SEO: Since you're ranking well locally, continue optimizing for local SEO, which can indirectly improve your national rankings.
Link Building: Build high-quality backlinks from authoritative sites relevant to your industry.
Monitor and Adjust: Regularly monitor your site's performance in Google Search Console and other analytics tools. Adjust your strategies based on performance data.
Regarding the Spam Score specifically:
Spam Score is a metric from Moz that predicts the likelihood of a domain being penalized or banned by search engines based on its backlink profile.
Disavowing bad backlinks helps, but improving the overall link profile with high-quality backlinks is crucial.
It's also beneficial to improve the domain authority and trustworthiness signals of your site through legitimate means.
Given your efforts, it's possible to improve your national SEO rankings over time. Consistency in applying these strategies and monitoring results will be key.Reducing the Spam Score and improving national SEO ranking can be challenging but here are some steps you can take:

Unsolved Spam Score Blank - Looking For Feasible Solution
Hi,
Link Explorer | | Jane090987
There is a question in my website. When I'm searching the number of spam score of my site, it shows "--".
In the official article it shows that the reason of "--" happens is that our site has not been evaluated by Moz. But there aren't any ways of solutions, seems that we can only wait - not knowing how long - for being evaluated.
Is there any way that I can get my site evaluated by Moz, and the spam score of my website can be displayed as an exact number?
Thanks for answering in advance!0 -

New to SEO - Best Practice Example
I am new to the SEO world and I have been using the tools SEOMoz provides. I was doing some research and happen to find this website: http://www.futuresimple.com/lead-tracking-software/ I noticed that their sitemap does not contain all of the links that are located at the bottom of the page. Also when you click one of the page on the bottom that you are taken to a landing page and it forces you to their software page. Community feedback - do you think this is a good techique to do something like this or can you please provide me a some other good examples for a niche/smaller website? Thank you. Denny

Question to SEO experts about backlink tracking
Hi, could you recommend the best tool that you use to keep track of all the backlinks you have. I'd imaging there is a good software or website which lists all your backlinks with all relevant info for each link (PR of the linking site, authority level etc) thanks in advance for sharing.
