      Hi, I have just launched my website 1 month before and I have used all paid images, Uniquely written contents, Everything is genuine for better SEO experience in the future. The actual problem is its showing spam by 79% in MOZ bar, I don't have a single link on my website also my content is unique, Images are unique. Why its showing so much spam on this brand new website?

      Can you please help me? I am very stressed due to this problem.

        Is this a brand new domain or did you buy a previous domain name and built a new website on top of it? If the domain had previously existed, look into the backlink profile and what kind of sites are pointing to your website.

        Another possibility is the theme you've used for the website. Have you scanned/checked the theme before implementation?

          Hi there,

          If you haven't done anything wrong or spammy in an SEO matter, then you shouldn't worry that much.
          The first thing that I'd advise you to look for answers is in the previous history of your domain. It's common that old domains have a history of being used in spammy tactics.
          The second thing to consider is that this is just a private metric, it DOES NOT MEAN that you will have problems or going to be penalized in google search.

          Then, I'd take a deep read and try to understand what other factors could be impacting your really high spam socre.
          Here you can find the 27 most important factors for Moz's spam score.

          Hope it helps,
          Best luck.
