Website showing High Spam Score

[stay.hungary]

I am having a website https://www.hemporganic.net/

Suddenly I am noticing the website showing around 42% spam score. I simply cannot understand the reason behind it. The website contains only one backlink and that too it is guest posting backlink. Please explain to me why this is occurring with my site.

Hi there!

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). Our machine learning model identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.

Your Spam Score - This does not mean that your site is definitely spammy. The percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to change these factors on your site, but it may be worthwhile to consider them. It is best to use this percentage figure to judge the quality of inbound links to your site, giving you a signal to help you determine which of those links needs some further investigation and, perhaps, even removal.

Another site's Spam Score - Again, this doesn't mean that these sites are spammy. This percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is just based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to disregard sites or disavow links with higher Spam Scores. Instead, we'd recommend using it as a guide for kick starting investigations. Be sure to check out a site's content and its relevance in linking back to you before disregarding or disavowing.

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:

With what tool you are checking this?

Moz calculate the spamscore based on different factors like onsite and offsite factors.

Offsite factors: backlinks' quality, backlinks' spam links, backlinks' penalty, backlinks' backlink

Onsite factors: spammy content, 4xx/5xx errors for pages you have built backlinks.

Backlink quality what matters for each search engine, if a spam website is linking to your website then your website might get spam.

Backlinks' spam links: Sometimes you don't check each website you build backlink on. Their backlinks sometimes get spammy, so you get the risk also.

Backlinks' content: Backlinks' quality is measured by its content. Most of the link builders just put content on the website and paste their links. They don't post quality content, so that content doesn't get internally linked or externally.  So, such links on high authority websites are called spammy backlinks. It won't affect that website but yours.

OnSite Factors: The major factor which is neglected is that you removed a page from your website either to remove duplicate content or merge them or delete it, you have to put the 301 redirections of to a similar page. Normally 4xx/5xx pages are noindex by default in every CMS. To transfer its link juice/authority you need to put 301 redirection.

I got a project "Boston criminal Defense Lawyer" the previous link builder built too many web 2.0's with spun content, there were nearly 1000 web 2.0s. Web 2.0s are normally good if high-quality content is written and updated regularly. But he used just spun content with exact match keyword. That cost the project drop ranking and lost google's trust on the domain. Hence those web 2.0 has no spam score so our website didn't have spam score.

If you have a paid subscription of Moz, then you should do at least do your website's audit every month. This can help you keep your website spam free. Also, keep your backlinks in check with Moz link checking tool.

Also, many people don't know this, for an example, you have spam score at MOZ  20,30 but you have just a few backlinks with also big spam score then you go and find links with spam score 0,1,2 and connect with them you will see as many links with lower spam score you connect your spam score is going down.
