          I agree with all that was said above and would add a couple of other points for you to check:

          1- Check if there are any "Manual Actions" on Google Search Console for the domain and if there are any, see what they're about.

          2- Check the backlink profile of the website using ahrefs, Majestic, SEMRush, MOZ, and see if there are any spammy domains. And if so, you'll need to disavow those domains through Search Console.

              The Moz spam score is measured on a multitude of metrics, some of which are related to backlinks and some not. The fact that you have purchased an old domain that dates back to 2013 on web archive ( which although in itself is not negative), is possibly a factor that has contributed to tip over some flags.

              You can find the full list of metrics that Moz uses to calculate the spam score here:
              https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

              You will need to analyze the factors listed there in order to work on improving your Moz Spam Score.

              On the other hand, the Moz spam score is a metric created by Moz and it doesn't necessarily represent how your site will rank on search engines. I suggest that you keep adding quality unique content and good backlink on your site, and I'm certain that as the time passes your site spam score will decrease.

                backlink profile

                There are a large number of missing backlinks (old) which are not showing on Moz but do show on Ahrefs. Is there a reason for this? Thanks.

                Noindex/nofollow on blog comments; is it good or bad ?

                Hi, I changed the design of one my wordpress website at the beginning of the month. I also added a "facebook seo comments" plugin to rewrite facebook comments as normal comments. As most of the website comments are facebook comments, I went from 250 noindex/nofollow comments to 950; URL's are ?replytocom=4822 etc. Moz campaign noticed it and I'm asking myself : is it good to have comments in noindex/nofollow ? Should I do something about this ? Erwan.

                Does SEOmoz have a tool to find mirror sites?

                I heard from a company that is trying to get my clients SEO business that they discovered multiple sites mirroring our site's content. Does SEOmoz have a tool to find these websites? Or does Google?

                How do you check the outbound links of a site?

                There are great tools like http://www.opensiteexplorer.org that will tell you all about the inbound links.  What about the more basic and easier question:  What outgoing links does this site have?

                Page Authority is the same on every page of my site

                I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?
