              I have my website which has a spam score over 50% but I created almost 50 plus unique and high authority backlinks with a spam score below 5%. After doing this my website spam score went down to 4% from 61%. So, do this and you will solve your issue like I did that.

                A score of 1%-30% is considered a Low Spam Score. A score of 31%-60% is considered a Medium Spam Score. A score of 61%-100% is considered click test a High Spam Score. A high Spam Score for your site, or a site you're looking at, doesn't mean this site is necessarily spammy.
                When Moz analyzes your site, they look for a wide range of attributes, including those 27 spam signals. The more of these attributes your site has, the higher your spam score will be. You can access your spam score in Moz's Link Explorer, where it will show a percentage from 1 to 100.

                  @swati26011089 said in reduce spamscore:

                  There are many ways to reduce spamscore on your website. A few of these methods include:

                  • Implementing CAPTCHA, which is a type of test that requires the user to input a word or phrase that is only visible in an image. This can be done by using Google's reCAPTCHA service and implementing it on your website.

                  • Implementing Akismet, which is also a type of spam filter. It uses machine learning to identify and stop spam messages from reaching your inbox, comment feeds, or blogs and social media posts.

                  • Implementing trackbacks, which are messages sent from one blog to another blog with the intent of notifying the other blog that they have linked to them.

                  Great information
                  Thanks for sharing

                                          Agreed with @pau4ner - you should walk through all the spam signals and fix what you can. It sucks that some of the spam signals Moz has chosen can be bad (in other ways like adverse to pagespeed) to implement, like having a custom font - if not needed this slows your site and reduces your pagespeed - so to have to add a custom font just to please Moz's spam score is unfortunate - but if you want to improve your score - implement the 27 factors listed at the link @pau4ner gave. Also note they only update it quarterly, so even after fixing your site you might be in for a good wait to see an update.

                                          What is further annoying is that even if you are in the low spam range at say 24% (e.g. my site atm: https://discoverquotes.com) still.. most webmasters see 24% and think that is a lot - so they won't link to my site. Moz's Spam Score is hurting me unfairly, IMHO, because my site is not spammy, and because many of the 27 items - things they feel you should have like custom font and linked in and ad scripts and google analytics scripts - all those things adversely affect page speed. So you can have a fast site, or comply with Moz's spam score requirements, but doing both is a challenge.

                                              Do some off-page link building with a 1% spam score or less with a high DA and DR website. And wait for the results. We have a client, and I found this particular page got spam on this URL.
                                              https://www.cash4carremovalsydney.com.au/services/accident-car-removals/
                                              We created a backlink with less than 1% spam link building and also, checked for help with already submitted website owners to remove the link, as we found those websites creating spam.
                                              Try not to use many ugc blog commenting sites, as they create spam and non-quality backlinks.

                                                    @serktba I would not worry too much about that, since in the end you cannot control all the websites that link to your page.

                                                                          1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                            2% spamscore is not that bad, honestly. Also take into account this is a Moz metric which may have no influence on your website's SEO results, although it helps as a reference.

                                                                            Spamscore is tipically correlated with some features of your website or its external links, such as having low content published, tipically spammy TLDs, high backlink to content ratio, no GSC integration, etc. You can see all this factors here: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score#spam-score-signals

                                                                            As you publish content and correct this issues spam score should decrease, although again it is not something I would worry about.

                                                                            daviddq Abdul_Haadi 2 Replies Last reply Reply Quote 1

                                                                                There is a question in my website. When I'm searching the number of spam score of my site, it shows "--".
                                                                                In the official article it shows that the reason of "--" happens is that our site has not been evaluated by Moz. But there aren't any ways of solutions, seems that we can only wait - not knowing how long - for being evaluated.
                                                                                Is there any way that I can get my site evaluated by Moz, and the spam score of my website can be displayed as an exact number?
                                                                                Thanks for answering in advance!

                                                                                off-page seo seo backlinks spam score

                                                                                So I noticed my rankings going down and spam score going up. So under my spam score there are over 100 links for different websites but ALL redirect to semalt.com I researched it and it says they hijacked a bunched of backlinks but don't know much more. How can I get rid of all those backlinks? I was told I could use the disavow tool but apparently that can hurt my ranking as well. The semalt.com site has no backlink to me - it looks like the pages that have/had my backlinks, they've redirected to them. For instance this is one of the links http://www.oxvideos.xyz/indianantyphotoxxx 422005fb-9240-40a4-8b65-f5b1f5079dea-image.png
