        "Due to some spammy links"

        • I'd suggest checking those out first (remove for example). Please know that the spam ranking score of MOZ is'nt from Google, google might look different towards the use of spammy links.

          Hi - Thanks for posting!

          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: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

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