      Hey experts I hope you are all doing great, please have a look at my blog https://iriveramerica.com, when I check it with link explorer there are 92% domains with spam score below 20 and only 2.1% of the domains with spam score more than 60.

      I have compared its backlinks to some other domains, those domains have more than 3 or 4% backlinks with spam scores greater than 60 but have much lower spam score as compared to mine, some even have 1% spam score?

      I have disavowed many backlinks but its not updated in Moz yet. I know there are 27+ factors which decide your spam score but how can I get the breakdown now as it was shown in the older versions of open site explorer like: No contact information, low domain trust, less internal links?

      Kind regards...

        Hi there,

        Jo from the Moz help team here.

        You're right that Spam Score is based on the 27 factors outlined on our Help Hub.

        Spam Score represents the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google. Spam Score is based on our machine learning model which identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.

        Which of the 27 features your site triggered isn't currently available. You'll need to look at the 27 features listed in this article and review your own site to see what you could change to improve your site's score.

        I hope this helps!

        Jo
