Moz not updating the spam score metrics

[jamesh.rich01]

Hi Experts,

I have done everything to come over the following metrics flagged as spam on my website by Moz, few months ago. But, Moz has not updated the spam score yet.

✓Low MozTrust or MozRank Score - improved from 2 to 4.5
✓Large Site with Few Links - My website have more than 6K backlinks
✓Small Proportion of Branded Links - My website have a good amount of branded backlinks
✓Thin Content - Every webpage on website has more than 500 words content
✓External Links in Navigation - There is no external link in navigation other than social media links
✓No Contact Info - The proper address has alreay been placed on website footer
✓Low Number of Pages Found -

I am wondering if there are any standard score or number of links to reach to remove these flag?
Also, please suggest some ways that will help me improve moz spam score at faster rate.

Thanks for your help in advance!"

By clicking on your Spam Score rating on the Inbound Links tab of Open Site Explorer, you can see which specific factors you're being flagged for. The flags represent a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. However, this does not mean that you need to 'change' these things, rather it's just an indication to be aware of them.

Hi Eli,

Thank you for your response.

I am agree with your point that spam metric may take more time to get updated but I am tracking the same spam score for more than 9 months for my website.

I am also wondering if Moz have any standards to remove a particular spam flag.

For example: Moz rank of website should be greater than 5 to remove the spam flag "Low MozTrust or MozRank Score"

Hey!

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Unlike the rest of the metrics available in Open Site Explorer, the Spam Score doesn't update each month with the rest of the index update. The Spam Analysis section updates on a completely separate schedule, and much less frequently; usually around every 6 months or so. So it's entirely possible that you're seeing Spam flags that are no longer relevant to your site.

Have a great day!
