          2% spam is normal so many website has less than that. but you should check your backlinks spam score for sure, if your backlinks has more than 40% you should disavow that links.

                        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.

                            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.

                                                        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.

                                                                                      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
