      I bought a domain name https://ez1.in  and it has a high MOZ spam score. Although it is because of the previous webmaster who used this domain as a URL shortening website. But now I am using it as a service delivery website.

      I wanted to know once a domain is deleted and ready to resell MOZ doesn't update its Spam score? Or it has periodic updates that are scheduled? How does the whole process work?

          Hi there,

          Spam score is determined by a separate crawler than the crawler that powers Link Explorer and updates roughly once a month. Unfortunately, even if a domain is ready to be resold,  it is never fully "deleted" meaning the spam score would carry over.

          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:

          If you have any further questions, please send a message to help@moz.com!

          • 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?

          • The Moz Spam Score tells me my site has too few backlinks for such a large site. How many links per page would I need to not trigger this filter and stop appearing spammy?
