      Hello Moz Community,

      I'm facing spam score issue on my site General Queen according to MOZ my website spam score is 30% but anybody can explain how can i decrease it?

      Firstly I disavowed all low-quality and high spam score links (6 months ago) but my spam score was not decreased after that I created some high-quality and 0 spam score backlinks but still, my spam score is same 😞

      According to Moz link explorer, my domain backlinks spam score ratio was below;

      Stats of 14 July 2019 .. Screen shot is attached

      1-30% .. 45.3%
      31-60% .. 32.1%
      61-100% .. 22.6%

      Stats of 13 June 2020 .. Screen shot is attached

      1-30% .. 65.1%
      31-60% .. 30.7%
      61-100% .. 4.2%

      You can see a huge difference in the backlinks spam score in it. But why my spam score is still 30%?

      Looking forward to your reply.

      Thanks & Regards,

      abu1NiB XGLkr5z

          Hey there,

          Thanks so much for reaching out! 🙂

          So, Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google (it's not based on the spam score of the sites linking to you). To improve this score I would recommend reading our guide which explains the 27 factors used to make up this score. You can then look at your site and investigate areas you would like to improve on your site:

          Best of luck, and let me know if I can help with anything else!
