      Hi there!

      Jo here, from the Moz Support team. Thanks for the reply Alick300, quality backlinks is the best way to increase the authority of your site. Each high quality link is like another site endorsing your site.

      If you're wanting to know more about Moz Spam Score in general I'd recommend checking out this article & video

      https://moz.com/blog/spam-score-mozs-new-metric-to-measure-penalization-risk

      https://moz.com/blog/understanding-and-applying-mozs-spam-score-metric-whiteboard-friday

      The 17 Spam Score flags represent 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 change these factors on your site, but it could be worthwhile to consider them!

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,

      Jo

        You can see a list of the reasons you got this spam score here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis/flags?subdomain=www.naturesouq.com

        Low MozTrust or MozRank Score
        The site link profile is not trustworthy.

        Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains
        The ratio of followed to nofollowed domains linking to this subdomain is outside the normal range of others in our index.

        Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains
        The ratio of followed to nofollowed subdomains linking to this subdomain is outside the normal range of others in our index.

        Large Site with Few Links
        We found very few sites linking to this site, considering its size.

        Small Proportion of Branded Links
        Links to this subdomain have low amounts of branded anchor text.

        Thin Content
        A subset of pages within this subdomain have little content.

        Large Number of External Links
        A subset of pages within this subdomain has a large number of external links.

        External Links in Navigation
        There's a large number of external links within sidebars and footers.

        How can you lower your spam score? Some might be easier, i.e. removing external links in the navigation. Based on the points listed, it sounds like you might have some issues with your backlink profile, on-site links and (thin) content.
