Spam Score and crawling of my site
- 
					
					
					
					
 Hello, I'm trying to analyze the spam score of my site which is 9/17 Actually I have few backlinks and all of them have a low spam score (max 4/17, just one). I think there's some kind of issue with the crawler since I get strange spam factors: - 
Large Site with Few Links (likely true, I recently deleted a lot of tags used once) 
- 
Low Number of Pages Found (wasn't it a "Large Site"??) 
- 
Low Number of Internal Links (I got a considerable number) 
- 
No Contact Info (I have a link to my facebook in the menu and a "contacts" page) 
- 
Thin Content (It's just a blog with min 300 words per post, why thin?) 
- 
Site Link Diversity is Low (likely true) 
- 
Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains (likely true) 
- 
Low MozTrust or MozRank Score (true) 
- 
Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains (likely true) 
 Can you please help me to understand it, is it a crawling problem or similar? If needed I will post the url of the website. Thank you so much Marco

		Unsolved Why am I not seeing search.yahoo.com in my site's backlink profile?
 When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool. However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses. Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not? Link Explorer | | DigitalThirdCoast0

		Spam Score of 28-Cause for Concern?
 In the last week domain authority for our site (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com) has increased from 21 to 31. We have been working on local SEO and making other improvements in the last month. I have noticed that our spam score is now 28. I believe it was much lower in the past. Should we be concerned about incurring a Google penaltyY How likely is this with a spam score of 28? What actions should we take? Also, we will be migrating the site to a new domain early this week. Can we use the domain migration as an opportunity to remove links from pammy domains? Will the removal of link from spammy domains increase or decrease our domain authority? Thanks, Alan Link Explorer | | Kingalan10

		Open Site Explore page titles show as "No Title"
 This has been asked many times but I cannot find an answer. On Open Site Explorer, most URLs I enter show as "No title" which means you have to hover over the URL to see which page is being referred to. I know you'd want an example, so here's your own site Moz.com 🙂 CWrkxZQ Link Explorer | | clifra0

		Not existing domains linking to my website (spam)
 Hello, When i run my platform www.taobao.nl through https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/researchtools/ose/ i see a lot of nasty adult domains that link to my platform. These give a very negative (spam)score to my platform. I already disavowed quite a few via Webmastertools, but they keep coming. When i check the names in the Whois, they don't even seem to exist! (anymore) What could cause this and how can i end it?? Thanks for your help! Sander Link Explorer | | benhond1

		Open Site Explorer and Expired Links?
 Hi guys, I've been checking a few domains for SEO purposes and it appears that OSE is indexing a lot of links which no longer exist, this has been the case for over 6 months - does OSE cleanse expired links? As I'm sure they will be contributing to authority in the eyes of Moz? Link Explorer | | lotterybase0
