      Hi all!

      How to check what makes a score of 16% to the website, and what should be done to decrease the score?

      Regards,
      A

        Still, are the DA and the number of the linking domains not counted for DA and PA only?

        And the linking domain's spam score for the websites' spam score only?

        How does exactly a linking domain quality (DA?) correlate to the website's spam score?

        Regards,

          Hi there,

          Your spam score will not change if you disavowed links via Google Search Console.  Moz has no way of knowing that you disavowed any links. By disavowing these links you just telling Google to do not count them.

            Hi Ross and Lauren,

            All of the links with the spam score of 61-100% is sent to Google to disavow them, and a number of them with the spam score of 31-60%.

            Also, a hundred new quality backlinks could be found on the internet since January, and nothing changed.

            So, what exactly are the parameters that should be watched for and worked on so to improve the spam score?

            Regards

              Hi there,

              You should get more quality links if you want to improve your spam score.

                Unsolved Regarding Moz API token password update

                moz api access token

                Hi, In March we have updated password for MOZ API and used in our application it worked, but currently the updated password is not working and in the MOZ site the old password is shown and its active. We are using Legacy username and password.

                Unsolved "The account does not have access to that quota" - API v1 URL Metrics

                api url metrics v1

                Hi! On one of our servers we get the message "The account does not have access to that quota" when pulling data for v1 URL Metrics endpoint in the API.
                This only happens on one specific server, others have worked flawlessly. Any idea of what might be going on? Thanks

                Unsolved Api limits on free plan

                api

                Good afternoon. I tried connecting free access to api https://moz.com/help/links-api/v1-archive/v1-free-api-access to retrieve DA data. After several requests to the api I got a message: "Your monthly row limit reached" Can you tell me what this error is related to? Or Moz doesn't have free api access anymore?

                Spam score Reduction is possible or not?

                Hi everyone, I have a question regarding spam score of websites. So, even if we disavow backlinks in search console which are harming a site and are responsible for the spam score, then how will MOZ know that those backlinks are disavowed? And if they do not know then spam score will ever be reduced of any website. Is there any way to tell MOZ that those harmful links which responsible for the spam score are are no longer pointing to our site?

                New to the SEO world

                Hello, I am new to the SEO world though I realize it's importance when trying to make your site noticed. I am working with a shopping cart (Pinnacle Cart)  and It has the fields to put in the data such as the meta tags, description keywords and whatnot. My problem is that I do not know how to use MOZ to strategize what keywords to use and how to populate them to the Google search engine. That said, someone told me that Descriptions for Section pages are far more important than keywords. Can anyone help or give me some insight on how to start this process? Once I have it all running, about how long will it take to propagate through Google? Thanks!
