Internal Pages marked as Spam by Moz

[Umesh-Chandra]

Hello,
We use Moz for our website,Open site explorer marks many of the internal pages of the website as spam. Even pages such as careers, privacy policy etc.

Please let us know why is this the case ? Also does these pages have impact on overall rankings of the website ?, If yes, What should we do about it ? Please clarify.

Thanks.

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out! Spam Score is calculated on a subdomain-specific basis, based on the pages that we've observed within that subdomain. So, every page within a single subdomain would display the same Spam Score. Without knowing more about the specific site you're looking at, it's a little tough to say exactly what the best course of action is.

I'd definitely encourage you to check out this video from Rand when considering how to evaluate and apply Spam Score within the context of your site: https://moz.com/blog/understanding-and-applying-mozs-spam-score-metric-whiteboard-friday

I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Have an awesome day!

Hi there! Out of curiosity, when you say that pages are being marked as spam, do you mean they're being given a spam score? And what is that score?
