Hi there! Out of curiosity, when you say that pages are being marked as spam, do you mean they're being given a spam score? And what is that score?

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out! Spam Score is calculated on a subdomain-specific basis, based on the pages that we've observed within that subdomain. So, every page within a single subdomain would display the same Spam Score. Without knowing more about the specific site you're looking at, it's a little tough to say exactly what the best course of action is.I'd definitely encourage you to check out this video from Rand when considering how to evaluate and apply Spam Score within the context of your site: https://moz.com/blog/understanding-and-applying-mozs-spam-score-metric-whiteboard-friday
I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Have an awesome day!

Why are Internal Equity-Passing Links so low?
I am looking at "Internal Equity-Passing Links" for my website in the competitor link metrics tab of OSE, and it says that my website only has 7 internal links on the site. I know that I have more internal links that this, so I am wondering why this number is so low. Does anyone know where the discrepancy is coming from? Is the Moz crawler unable to access these? I appreciate any insights you can provide.

Can't see the link I earned from Moz in OSE
Hi Mozzers, A month ago I got the nofollow tag removed from the first custom link on my Moz profile but I can't see this in our links on OSE? SEO Spyglass shows it just fine. Is this related to the delays in the back end of Moz or have I set up my profile wrong? Cheers! Jamie

Page Authority = 1 of linking page?
I am trying to determine if any of our PR services or inbound links are hurting our SEO. To do this I am using the Open Site Explorer tool and checking some of the URL's that link to us. While doing this I found a page that has a Page authority of 1/100 most other links have a decent authority...does this score mean this page has been penalized by Google? If not what else could a 1/100 mean?
