      My domain  longfeifei.com is for a regular company website and someone sent a lot of external links on different low-quality websites on the internet. Now the score is very high about 75%. If I disavow the unusual links from google search console. Is it possible to reduce the spam score? Is MOZ associated with GOOGLE Data?

      Thanks,

        Hi Niaokun,

        First, of Disavow the spammy links will help with how Google sees your website.

        But to reduce your spam score on MOZ etc... you will need to contact the sites that have links you want removing and ask them to remove them. This can be time-consuming and doesn't always have a high success rate.

        No MOZ and Google do not share data.

        I hope this helps

        Steve

          Hi there!

          Thank you so much for the great question and sorry for the confusion here! Moz's Spam Score is not calculated based on the Spam Scores of your inbound links but rather, it is the percentage of sites we have found to have been penalized or banned by Google which have similar on-site features.

          If you're looking to improve your Spam Score on Moz, I would recommend checking out the 27 common features we identified through our machine learning model which make up this score. Working to improve those features on your site will help to improve your Spam Score. I also have a guide here from our Help Hub which talks more about Spam Score, the common features, and how to use this metric. https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

          I hope this helps! If you have follow up questions, you can always email us at help@moz.com.
