      Hello, I'm trying to analyze the spam score of my site which is 9/17

      Actually I have few backlinks and all of them have a low spam score (max 4/17, just one).

      I think there's some kind of issue with the crawler since I get strange spam factors:

      • Large Site with Few Links (likely true, I recently deleted a lot of tags used once)

      • Low Number of Pages Found (wasn't it a "Large Site"??)

      • Low Number of Internal Links (I got a considerable number)

      • No Contact Info (I have a link to my facebook in the menu and a "contacts" page)

      • Thin Content (It's just a blog with min 300 words per post, why thin?)

      • Site Link Diversity is Low (likely true)

      • Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains (likely true)

      • Low MozTrust or MozRank Score (true)

      • Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains (likely true)

      Can you please help me to understand it, is it a crawling problem or similar? If needed I will post the url of the website.

      Thank you so much

      Marco

        Hi Marco

        Having the URL will definitely help. You can email us at help@moz.com if you wish to keep it private.
