Hi there!
Our machine learning model identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.
8. Phone Number Present Spam sites rarely have real phone numbers present on their pages. 10. Email Address Present Email addresses are almost never present on spam sites. It's recommended to have these but it doesn't explicitly it needs to be on the contact page.
You can read more about Spam Score on our Help Hub - including an awesome video that explains how to use the score as well as the factors we use to calculate the score.
If you have any further questions, please email us at help@moz.com.

The Moz Spam Score is calculated based on a multitude of factors. Those factors are listed publicly by Moz here.
Looking over the factors, not having an "about" or "contact" page doesn't increase your spam score. Many sites nowadays are single-page, so it wouldn't make a lot of reasoning into increasing their spam score as they might have implemented the "contact" and "about" sections on the homepage.
However, you do get a higher Moz spam score if you have a low number of pages.
I'd like to also add that the Moz spam score is just an estimate by Moz generally used for measuring the quality of a site's backlinks, so it doesn't directly reflect the opinion that search engines have on the said sites.

API v1 still gets new data?
Hello! Do the v1 API endpoints provide fresh data, or do I need to use the v2 endpoints for fresh data? According to the v1 API docs "This guide outlines the endpoints for now archived Mozscape API endpoints." Does this mean that the v1 API only serves archived data? Thanks!

Any idea why HubSpot (which uses the MOZ api) can find our backlinks but OSE can not?
Links are showing up in the HubSpot link tool within a couple of days. OSE has our site showing zero backlinks. ahrefs is finding them too but that makes more sense. Does the API update more frequently than OSE? Any thoughts? Thanks!

Is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore?
Hi,
API | | jjtech
I have a couple trivial questions regarding google search and the way Moz keyword reports are working. 1/ is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore? 2/ if so than how Moz still manages to collect this data? Is it because of api or some other “deal” with them? Or you're paying for it. 3/ Why is “traffic from organic search” only for one week? Or I am missing something . http://screencast.com/t/rslio5ZSKAx It would be great to:
a/ go month by month (my client is requiring monthly reports)
b/ compare one week/month with another to see if it's getting better or worse. Thanks in advance,

Will the MOZ API display
will the MOZ API display rank, social and page data So I can create my own dashboard? We are looking to head off the 100% not provided and need to add to our reporting program. I was hoping the MOZ API would allow us to integrate the page views per url with ranking data that the campaigns provide. We are also interested in adding the social metrics for twitter and facebook to our client facing portal. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
