@OrangeDigital16 First, it's essential to identify the source of these spam links. It could be due to malicious actions or even a vulnerability in your website's security. Once you've identified the source, take immediate action to remove the spam links. You can try reaching out to webmasters of the sites containing the spam links and request their removal. Additionally, disavowing these links through Google Search Console can help signal to search engines that you don't endorse them. It's also crucial to strengthen your website's security to prevent future occurrences. Regularly monitor your backlinks and consider implementing measures like CAPTCHA or upgrading your website's security plugins. Removing these spam links and improving your website's overall quality will gradually reduce your spam score.

Unsolved when is the spam score updated?
when is the spam score updated?
Link Explorer | | Tv24.ro
we have been waiting since December to see an update of the spam score and moz is lying to us continuously. Shame, whenever we ask questions, they don't answer us, I think they almost make fun of people.
I requested an update to antena24, tv24, digi24, alba24, g4media, b1tv,newsela0 -

4. More links in the header and footer shows that you are big ecommerce site.. Pls suggest, which is right way and go gain SEO value1 -
Use 301'd Domain for a new campaign
Hello everybody, My company is getting ready to start a new mediacampaign on a very specific subject. The mediacampaign is not directly targeted at our core business, the goal is more to inform our customers about a subject and do a little branding for our company. A nice (and expensive) infographic was built that is going to be the core content of the campaign. We want the infographic to get shared a lot and therefore some of my colleagues want the url to be as short as possible. The idea is to host the infographic on a url on our companysite, but use a 301'd, shorter domainname in our communications. We are going to be getting a lot of links to this empty 301'd domain which does nothing else then 301 to our companysite. I know that linkbuilding to a 301'd domain is an old blackhat tactic, that's the main reason I don't feel good about this. But i can't really find any info on this subject.
