Website showing High Spam Score
-
I am having a website https://www.hemporganic.net/
Suddenly I am noticing the website showing around 42% spam score. I simply cannot understand the reason behind it. The website contains only one backlink and that too it is guest posting backlink. Please explain to me why this is occurring with my site.

If your business has a very high spam score, this could possibly be because a lot of spam backlinks have been built for that website?

Hi!
I have 2 websites https://mytinytoys.com and https://zitechnicalservicesuae.com those websites have spam score and thier backlinks have above 20% spam score how to remove backlink. -
We had a website that had many spam links, and this will negatively affect the business's SEO.
So, do fix this by hiring a SEO consultant, to fix the problem.
We had this same problem with a demolition business, which really damaged the company's organic seo, so if you have spam links, consult with an seo agency straightaway.

Also, many people don't know this, for an example, you have spam score at MOZ 20,30 but you have just a few backlinks with also big spam score then you go and find links with spam score 0,1,2 and connect with them you will see as many links with lower spam score you connect your spam score is going down. LIKE SOME WAGE.

Moz calculate the spamscore based on different factors like onsite and offsite factors.
Offsite factors: backlinks' quality, backlinks' spam links, backlinks' penalty, backlinks' backlink
Onsite factors: spammy content, 4xx/5xx errors for pages you have built backlinks.
Backlink quality what matters for each search engine, if a spam website is linking to your website then your website might get spam.
Backlinks' spam links: Sometimes you don't check each website you build backlink on. Their backlinks sometimes get spammy, so you get the risk also.
Backlinks' content: Backlinks' quality is measured by its content. Most of the link builders just put content on the website and paste their links. They don't post quality content, so that content doesn't get internally linked or externally. So, such links on high authority websites are called spammy backlinks. It won't affect that website but yours.
OnSite Factors: The major factor which is neglected is that you removed a page from your website either to remove duplicate content or merge them or delete it, you have to put the 301 redirections of to a similar page. Normally 4xx/5xx pages are noindex by default in every CMS. To transfer its link juice/authority you need to put 301 redirection.
I got a project "Boston criminal Defense Lawyer" the previous link builder built too many web 2.0's with spun content, there were nearly 1000 web 2.0s. Web 2.0s are normally good if high-quality content is written and updated regularly. But he used just spun content with exact match keyword. That cost the project drop ranking and lost google's trust on the domain. Hence those web 2.0 has no spam score so our website didn't have spam score.
If you have a paid subscription of Moz, then you should do at least do your website's audit every month. This can help you keep your website spam free. Also, keep your backlinks in check with Moz link checking tool.

With what tool you are checking this?

Hi there!
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). Our machine learning model identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.
Your Spam Score - This does not mean that your site is definitely spammy. The percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to change these factors on your site, but it may be worthwhile to consider them. It is best to use this percentage figure to judge the quality of inbound links to your site, giving you a signal to help you determine which of those links needs some further investigation and, perhaps, even removal.
Another site's Spam Score - Again, this doesn't mean that these sites are spammy. This percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is just based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to disregard sites or disavow links with higher Spam Scores. Instead, we'd recommend using it as a guide for kick starting investigations. Be sure to check out a site's content and its relevance in linking back to you before disregarding or disavowing.
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:

Crawl Errors on a Wordpress Website
I am getting a 902 error, "Network Errors Prevented Crawler from Contacting Server" when requesting a site crawl on my wordpress website, https://www.systemoneservices.com. I think the error may be related to site speed and caching, but request a second opinion and potential solutions. Thanks, Rich

How does spammy linked site have zero spam score?
I came across a law firm site with hundreds of horrible spam links to it. Of the 3330 links, all but 231 links have anchor text that has to do with "jordan 11s for sale". I'm trying to see how useful the moz spam score is, but clearly it's not reliable if this site has a score of zero. Many of the obviously spammy sites linking to it also have low to zero spam scores, although there are plenty in the 5-10 range. (see attached image). I also noticed that many sites were legit sites, but if you look at the source code, there's tons of hidden spam links in the code (e.g., www.chickasawgardens.net) Why would this site have a zero spam score? If you're curious, put it into open site explorer and have a look. It's a law firm based in Pennsylvania, most anchor text has to do with jordan sneakers and most links are foreign: penn-criminallawyers.com Is the spam score too lenient? Is the moz tool unable to find spam links coming from legitimate sites with hidden spam links? DrokMbP

How to interpret a possible spam link?
Hallo, Spam analysis is suggesting that my website may have a spam problem (score is 5). When I analyse the single spam links, I am puzzled. the links to my site are actually links in disqus comments I wrote myself on the linking site, in order to aswer REAL question of real people giving them honest and useful answers (and linking my site :-), like the link pointed out in the attached image, also pasted herebelow: http://www.androidiani.com/news/servizi-premium-indesiderati-lantitrust-contro-tim-vodafone-wind-e-3-213235 Most links have this same nature. Has this behaviour (which I consider natural, in good faith) been regarded as spammy? Should avoid linking my site in the comments I write on external sites? the links from comunicatistampagratis.it (towards the end of the list) are from a free press release website: you send them the press release, they publish it. Should I avoid using this free press release site? Should I avoid using any free press release site at all (since they are regarded as spammy)? is there a rule to learn (since apparently I have not been very good so far at using my good faith to separate good links from spammy links) whether a link can be spammy and therefore try and avoid it? thank you for you help.

Why is my website providing no feedback on the Open Site Explorer?
Basically, whenever i type in my URL, http://www.locksmithplusincportlandor.com, I am presented with the following message: "It looks like we haven't discovered established link data for this URL yet." I have gone through all of the reasons why this could be, and none of them apply to my current situation. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Facebook "likes" not showing up in Open Site Explorer
Hi All: I'm dealing with a company that has 299 Facebook likes, but Open Site Explorer only shows three. I checked the NAP on Facebook and it's correct. Anyone know why this might be happening? I'm worried if Open Site Explorer is not seeing the likes, Google might not as well, for whatever reason. Thanks! Wes
