      Hi Guy's

      I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong . I recreated my whole new  website , Disavow the links , Created the landscape.pages , Put the fresh content .  Still working on fresh blog. Fetch the fresh index through google webmaster. Working on couple of errors .

      Created high pr links .

      Run the Ppc keywords

      Did strong social media marketing .

      I notice my DA  and PA got increased , However my spam score is still same .

      My niche is www.shinedental.net.  There are some website who showed up in top research of google their spam score is 7 .

      I'm not sure , if the moz database update every month or when we crawl the website . I delete the campaign and re-run it.

        Hey! Samantha from Moz’s Help Team here!

        To be fully transparent, our Spam Score metrics haven't been updated in some time, so they're not fully current. If you've made progress towards reducing the links from spammy sites going to your site in recent weeks and months, this likely will not be reflected in Open Site Explorer until our Spam Scores update. (Unfortunately, I don't have an ETA on when that will be - sorry about that!).

        So, it's entirely possible that Google is no longer penalizing these sites and that they're not considered spammy by Google any longer. I know that makes our Spam Analysis tool not super helpful, since it isn't up to date, but I hope this helps to explain why you're still seeing those spam scores.

        As always, you can reach out to our team directly by sending an email to help@moz.com but I hope this helps!

          As Samantha mentioned, the Spam Analysis tool is not a 100% accurate tool, it's more of a 'helping tool'. With the tool its best use is to get some ideas on what poor links are pointing towards your site. Even then you need to take the results with a grain of salt. The tool may give you a spam score that is not entirely accurate, you need to examine the links and make sure it is actually spammy. You'll also notice that the tool doesn't pull all the back links to your site. Moz doesn't have the capability that Google does to crawl that much quantity. To get a complete list of your links go into Google Search Console.

          If you're seeing your rankings and domain authority increasing this is a good sign Google noticed your disavow.

          Hope this helps.

          Chris
