Solved How to reduce the spam score for my domain?
-
My domain longfeifei.com is for a regular company website and someone sent a lot of external links on different low-quality websites on the internet. Now the score is very high about 75%. If I disavow the unusual links from google search console. Is it possible to reduce the spam score? Is MOZ associated with GOOGLE Data?
Thanks,

@pollyb Heya Polly!
It's not uncommon to see this sort of thing when looking a backlink data at a granular level. The data isn't updated live as crawling and indexing the web is quite a heavy load on resources to it takes time to gather and "crunch"The most important thing here is to make sure that you're using the Spam Score tool and data in the most helpful way possible. If you're exploring spammy sites linking to your site, and you're finding that they don't exist then * dusts hands * job done.
Please also note that 'disavowing' links won't impact your own site's spam score as we don't have insight into which links are 'disavowed'.If you're investigating improving your own site's Spam Score then I would recommend taking some time to explore which of the 27 flags you are triggering. We have a great guide on our Help Hub outlining what you can do to reduce your Spam Score

To reduce spam in your domain, focus on improving email authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Clean your email list regularly, avoid spammy language, and encourage recipients to engage with your emails by providing them with valuable content.

Disavowing low-quality or spammy backlinks through Google Search Console can potentially help improve your website's spam score over time. When you disavow links, you're essentially telling Google to ignore those specific links when assessing your website's credibility and authority.
Create a Disavow File: For backlinks that you're unable to remove manually, create a disavow file containing a list of URLs or domains you want Google to ignore. Google provides guidelines on how to create and submit a disavow file. Submit Disavow File: Use Google's Disavow Tool within Google Search Console to submit your disavow file. This tells Google to disregard the specified links when assessing your website's backlink profile.

Thanks,Disavowing low-quality or spammy links in Google Search Console can help improve your website's overall quality and potentially reduce any negative impact on your site's ranking caused by those links. However, it's important to note that disavowing links doesn't guarantee an immediate or significant improvement in your site's performance. It may take some time for Google to recrawl your site and take the disavowed links into account.
Regarding Moz, it's important to understand that Moz is a separate entity from Google. Moz provides its own set of tools and metrics for analyzing websites and their backlink profiles. While Moz's metrics, such as Domain Authority and Spam Score, can be useful for evaluating the quality of your backlinks, they are not directly associated with Google's search algorithms or data.
Disavowing links in Google Search Console can help address issues with Google's search algorithms, but it won't directly affect metrics provided by Moz. However, improving the quality of your backlink profile can have a positive impact on both Google's rankings and metrics provided by other platforms like Moz.
In summary, disavowing spammy links in Google Search Console can be a step towards improving your site's performance and reducing any negative effects from low-quality backlinks. While Moz provides valuable insights into your site's backlink profile, it operates independently of Google's search algorithms. Focus on improving the overall quality and relevance of your website's content and backlink profile to achieve better results in both Google and other metrics provided by platforms like Moz.

Spam Score is calculated based on 27 flags that we identified that correlate with spamminess, that means that Spam Score is based on your own site and its features, setup, and content. To reduce your Spam Score you need to work on improving your site. Please follow our guide on investigating your own site's Spam Score
Best of luck! -

@meghanpahinui your spam rank tool is terrible. Most of the websites linking to my domain don't even exist anymore, they are domains for sale. How can you give my website a bad note based on websites who don't exist, linking to pages 404? At leat the pages 404 should be taken into account. It doesn't make sense at all

Hi there!
Thank you so much for the great question and sorry for the confusion here! Moz's Spam Score is not calculated based on the Spam Scores of your inbound links but rather, it is the percentage of sites we have found to have been penalized or banned by Google which have similar on-site features.
If you're looking to improve your Spam Score on Moz, I would recommend checking out the 27 common features we identified through our machine learning model which make up this score. Working to improve those features on your site will help to improve your Spam Score. I also have a guide here from our Help Hub which talks more about Spam Score, the common features, and how to use this metric. https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score
I hope this helps! If you have follow up questions, you can always email us at help@moz.com.

Hi Niaokun,
First, of Disavow the spammy links will help with how Google sees your website.
But to reduce your spam score on MOZ etc... you will need to contact the sites that have links you want removing and ask them to remove them. This can be time-consuming and doesn't always have a high success rate.
No MOZ and Google do not share data.
I hope this helps
Steve

I bought a 5 year old domain and has a spam score of 23%.....
A few months ago i bought a 5 year old domain and when i went to check in Moz pro the spam score, it shows its at 23%. DA is 1 everything else is 0. The spam score shows 23% but there are no links at all for this website (see image) https://imgur.com/a/3lHjLEh I don't understand, there are no links at all going to this website. I checked google search console, analytics and tried looking for any links linking to this domain and there is none. Even Moz isn't showing any links in the picture i provided above. Is this a glitch? Can i reset my spam score on this domain? Does that mean i wasted my money on this domain and now i can't rank with it? Is there something im missing here. I also checked is there are any warnings or manual actions and it clearly says "No issues detected". A few months earlier i bought a brand new domain very close to the 5 year old domain (new domain has a z instead of an s) and the spam score on that is 0 and DA is 1. Given that the 5 year old domain has a 23% spam score, does that mean i should use the other new domain instead and redirect the 5 year old domain to the new website?

Hello Mozzers! Say there is a website with 100 pages and a domain authority of 25. If the number of pages on this website increases to 10,000 can that decrease its domain authority or affect it in any way?
