        Hi there

        First, take a run through this migration checklist to make sure you covered all of your bases.

        From there, you're going to want to do a backlink audit of all of your sites to see if there are any backlinks you want to remove or disavow. Remember, when you redirect websites, whatever website everything is being redirected to is ultimately inheriting the backlink profiles of the other websites - you're going to want to clean those and update valuable links to point to the new URL.

        You can also do a Change of Address in Google Search Console for the redirected sites, but I would make sure you check backlinks and clean those up the best you can.

        Hope this helps! Good luck!

          The spam score is just MOZ's algorithm based on some known factors, but doesn't mean that your site is actually being seen as spammy by Google.

          Rand recently explained a little about how it works...

          Remember that spam score doesn't indicate whether something is necessarily spam in Google's eyes - it just tries to show features that are correlated with things we've seen Google penalize/ban. So, a Spam Score of 9/17 means that we saw ~72% of sites with that many triggers get penalties/bans in Google. But, that also means 28% of sites we saw with 9/17 flags had no penalties.

          -Andy

          • 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?
