      The reasons for Spam Score:
      1 - No renewed content
      2 - weak external links
      3 - No internal links inside content
      4 - Social Media pages do not exist

      Is that right for getting Spam Score?

        Hi Roadmedia

        More like a large site with many out-links and very few backlinks and skinny content.

        Build the site up and scale high-quality content with fewer external links. It's not so much about lack of renewed content or internal links although they are important they won't lead to a high spam score.

        Regards

        Nigel
