        Hi,

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

        Thanks

          Hi there!

          Jo here, from the Moz Support team. Thanks for the reply Alick300, quality backlinks is the best way to increase the authority of your site. Each high quality link is like another site endorsing your site.

          If you're wanting to know more about Moz Spam Score in general I'd recommend checking out this article & video

          https://moz.com/blog/spam-score-mozs-new-metric-to-measure-penalization-risk

          https://moz.com/blog/understanding-and-applying-mozs-spam-score-metric-whiteboard-friday

          The 17 Spam Score flags represent a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is just based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to change these factors on your site, but it could be worthwhile to consider them!

          I hope this helps.

          Cheers,

          Jo

            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.

                                          This is my website- HingeDatingSite.com . I'm not doing any SEO for this website. I just submitted this website to few directories but those directories are below 1% spam score websites, still, I got 6 spam score. Can anyone please help me with this? Is there any problem with the hosting IP addresses? Thanks.

                                            Hey,

                                            We are doing good in terms of spam score, but suddenly it was increased form 0 to 6.

                                            Is any solution for us?  website: https://jacketarena.com
