      Hello,

      I have a website whose spam analysis is showing a score is a 6 but when I look at the my links, I only have one link that is showing up as a 5. I look at all the subdomains and root domain and I am just curious if I should be worried or that this is quite common. Thoughts?

      Thanks,
      Errick

        Hi Errick,

        I am sorry that you ran into this and I would be happy to take a look. 🙂 We may need to take a look at the site so I will create a ticket for you in our help system and hopefully get it sorted. 🙂

        If you have any questions for me in the meantime though let me know and I would be happy to take a look.

        Hope this helps and I look forward to speaking with you!

          Hey Errick,

          I don't feel it is that reliable at all. Once of my sites has had a spam score on 9 since I started working on it.

          Ive worked on it for 4 months to lower it and nothing happens even though I've addressed 90% of the issues and "indicators"

          I hope you come right with yours though.

            Hi Errick!

            I'm obviously pretty biased, but I feel it's pretty accurate. The trick is to understand what it's measuring, and the thought behind its correlative analysis.

            Have you had the chance to read Rand's blog post on Spam Score?

            • The factors considered in the new domain authority algorithm? On-site factors we can use to compare with competitors? Is having an NA as a spam score a bad thing?
