Linkpage spam score

[Happy-SEO]

Hi Guys,

I've got a linkpage at it has quite a high spamscore on opensiteexpolorer. The high spamscore is so high because of lots of outgoing links. The link site has do-follow links to relevant pages.

My question is: Will my spamscore descrease when i set some links on no follow?

Thanks!

I think you should check the quality of those links only out going links donot increase spam score.

Hey,

Only the number of outgoing links does not determined the Spam Score but the overall Link anatomy matters.

And yes, the spam score will decrease if you get the no follow links from those sources.

Hope this helps!

Hi there!

I just want to add this post to Umar's recommendation of that Whiteboard Friday.

Also, if your site has a very high spam score, you may want to look into the other potential factors, beyond just the large number of external links. You should be able to see them in Spam Analysis.

Thanks fot the answers. Beacause it's a linkpage i get the spamscore from:

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.

Anchor Text Heavy Page
There's a high ratio of anchor text compared to content text.

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

No Contact Info
None of the pages crawled contain an email address or links to a social profile.

So i was guessing the only way to get it a little bit lower is to add some no-follows.
