Welcome to the Q&A Forum

@saeedroshan Spam Score represents the percentage of sites with similar features to the site you’re researching which we've found to be penalized or banned by Google. Spam Score is based on our machine learning model which identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.

A score of 1%-30% is considered a Low Spam Score.

A score of 31%-60% is considered a Medium Spam Score.

A score of 61%-100% is considered a High Spam Score.

A high Spam Score for your site, or a site you're looking at, doesn't mean this site is necessarily spammy, or doesn't have great backlinks. It's a sign that you should do some more investigation into the quality and relevance the features on the site you're investigating.

There is a great video on Spam Score on our Help Hub here https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

@jocameron I am facing the same issue here. although I have added hundreds of quality backlinks for trusted websites, however my spam score does not seem to get any better. my website is https://nursino.com . any advice?

@offilery I have the same issue with designbump.com. I've gone through every post on my site and removed any links to non-reputable websites. However, it still remains at 10%. I'm not even sure how often they rescan the website and update their records because nothing has really changed in over a year, despite my efforts.

I have newly created a site and make it live recently but my site showed 38% spam score my site is http://reservations-desk.com/

If anybody has a solution please share it with me so I can reduce it.

There are many solutions written but they are not working in my case so please provide me the best solution.

Hi there!

Jo here, from the Moz Support team.

Updated for 2021 Spam Score --

It's worth noting that a score of 1%-30% is considered a Low Spam Score, a score of 31%-60% is considered a Medium Spam Score, a score of 61%-100% is considered a High Spam Score.

Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google (it's not based on the spam score of the sites linking to you). 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:
https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

Disavowing or removing links is not a method for improving your Moz Spam Score. We don't have a way to identify links you've disavowed. Google doesn't make this information available through their Search Console API. Spam Score is percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google.

Cheers,

Jo
