Spam Score and crawling of my site
-
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

Unsolved Why am I not seeing search.yahoo.com in my site's backlink profile?
When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool. However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses. Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not?

How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?
So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file. So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered. Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years. During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since. But we have not recovered. At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

Spam Score of 28-Cause for Concern?
In the last week domain authority for our site (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com) has increased from 21 to 31. We have been working on local SEO and making other improvements in the last month. I have noticed that our spam score is now 28. I believe it was much lower in the past. Should we be concerned about incurring a Google penaltyY How likely is this with a spam score of 28? What actions should we take? Also, we will be migrating the site to a new domain early this week. Can we use the domain migration as an opportunity to remove links from pammy domains? Will the removal of link from spammy domains increase or decrease our domain authority? Thanks, Alan
