        You can see a list of the reasons you got this spam score here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis/flags?subdomain=www.naturesouq.com

        Low MozTrust or MozRank Score
        The site link profile is not trustworthy.

        Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains
        The ratio of followed to nofollowed domains linking to this subdomain is outside the normal range of others in our index.

        Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains
        The ratio of followed to nofollowed subdomains linking to this subdomain is outside the normal range of others in our index.

        Large Site with Few Links
        We found very few sites linking to this site, considering its size.

        Small Proportion of Branded Links
        Links to this subdomain have low amounts of branded anchor text.

        Thin Content
        A subset of pages within this subdomain have little content.

        Large Number of External Links
        A subset of pages within this subdomain has a large number of external links.

        External Links in Navigation
        There's a large number of external links within sidebars and footers.

        How can you lower your spam score? Some might be easier, i.e. removing external links in the navigation. Based on the points listed, it sounds like you might have some issues with your backlink profile, on-site links and (thin) content.

          Hi there!

          Jo here, from the Moz Support team.

          Updated for 2021 Spam Score --

          It's worth noting that a score of 1%-30% is considered a Low Spam Score, a score of 31%-60% is considered a Medium Spam Score, a score of 61%-100% is considered a High Spam Score.

          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

          Disavowing or removing links is not a method for improving your Moz Spam Score. We don't have a way to identify links you've disavowed. Google doesn't make this information available through their Search Console API. Spam Score is percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google.

          Cheers,

          Jo

            Hi,

            There is only way to reduce spam score by removing shady/spam links and get quality backlinks for your website.

            Thanks

              Hi All, Is it worth setting co-operation with website that has incoming links with spam score 96% despite the fact they're mostly nofollow? From my understanding there's still connection set between websites bit no negative impact on my SEO profile. Am I right? Thanks for all opinions.
