        Hello sir

        My site techsaa.com has spam score 20. I disavowed 89 spam domains through Google disavow tool a month ago but still moz is showing spam score.

        Can you please guide me how long Google or Moz takes to disavow that links, or Is there any tool inside Moz that we can submit a list of spam domains or tell moz that my site have no relation with that spammy sites. because we all don't know who is linking our domains.

        Hope for the best answer

        Thank You

        Abdul Majid Qureshi

          Our virtual assistant website https://virtualouspro.tech/ spam score went up by 28%. I am little concerned if it continues to grow what action can we take? I know quality backlinks are important and we are doing what we can but it's getting serious now.

                                    Thank you

                                          You can see a list of the reasons you got this spam score here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis/flags?subdomain=www.naturesouq.com

                                          Low MozTrust or MozRank Score
                                          The site link profile is not trustworthy.

                                          Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains
                                          The ratio of followed to nofollowed domains linking to this subdomain is outside the normal range of others in our index.

                                          Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains
                                          The ratio of followed to nofollowed subdomains linking to this subdomain is outside the normal range of others in our index.

                                          Large Site with Few Links
                                          We found very few sites linking to this site, considering its size.

                                          Small Proportion of Branded Links
                                          Links to this subdomain have low amounts of branded anchor text.

                                          Thin Content
                                          A subset of pages within this subdomain have little content.

                                          Large Number of External Links
                                          A subset of pages within this subdomain has a large number of external links.

                                          External Links in Navigation
                                          There's a large number of external links within sidebars and footers.

                                          How can you lower your spam score? Some might be easier, i.e. removing external links in the navigation. Based on the points listed, it sounds like you might have some issues with your backlink profile, on-site links and (thin) content.

                                            Hi there!

                                            Jo here, from the Moz Support team.

                                            Updated for 2021 Spam Score --

                                            It's worth noting 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 a High Spam Score.

                                            Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google (it's not based on the spam score of the sites linking to you). To improve this score I would recommend reading our guide which explains the 27 factors used to make up this score. You can then look at your site and investigate areas you would like to improve on your site:
                                            https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

                                            Disavowing or removing links is not a method for improving your Moz Spam Score. We don't have a way to identify links you've disavowed. Google doesn't make this information available through their Search Console API. Spam Score is percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google.

                                            Cheers,

                                            Jo

                                              Hi,

                                              There is only way to reduce spam score by removing shady/spam links and get quality backlinks for your website.

                                              Thanks

                                                Other websites copy content and giving a link back

                                                Hi, I've just noticed a few back links in Google Search Console, I was excited. But when I saw the backlinks, 2 other websites that had completely copied my content and then gave a backlink to my website. Is this bad for SEO and would google penalise my website for this?

                                                Will Ecademy closure affect websites google ranking

                                                Hi, i think i must be the only one that did not know about Ecademy sale, well almost. In the past week I have had a number of people contact me who are angry that they did not receive an email about ecademy business network being sold off. These people are more than angry about their monthly payments leaving their bank acounts and not having access to the new site which is here www.sunzu.com/ Although a lot of people are angry of the handling of this, an important question i would like to ask is, with ecademy no longer being around, does this mean that all the hard work of people writing articles on ecademy and gaining link juice, will all this link juice vanish look forward to hearing your thoughts

                                                Links from Real Estate Websites Link Page, Do or Don't?

                                                It seems that real estate sites have at times been under heavier scrutiny from the search engines. But real estate agents get networking, which makes acquiring those links a little bit easier. Plus with localization of search, I think real estate sites may give off a good GEO scent. Should SEO's go for links from real estate websites? Does a reciprocal link devalue said links?

                                                Duplicate content when uploading articles on other websites

                                                Hi, We regularly write articles on our website and then submit them to different websites with link backs or sometimes without link backs. If google crawls these websites and our website, will it penalise us for duplicate content? Does it make a difference if we put link back to our site or not? If Google sees it as duplicate content, what should we do as a solution? Thanks
