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

		What does "Number of Linking Root Domains" in Open Site Explorer actually mean?
 I've read through the forum, but I'm confused as to what "Number of Linking Root Domains" means in the Linking Domains report. For example, if the root domain is Moz.com and the number is 135,000 does that mean there are 135,000 links from Moz pointing back to my site or does it mean there are 135,000 sites linking back to Moz? Any help is appreciated. Thank you! Link Explorer | | karrabarron1

		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?
