Regarding the SPAM Score
-
Hi Guy's
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong . I recreated my whole new website , Disavow the links , Created the landscape.pages , Put the fresh content . Still working on fresh blog. Fetch the fresh index through google webmaster. Working on couple of errors .
Created high pr links .
Run the Ppc keywords
Did strong social media marketing .
I notice my DA and PA got increased , However my spam score is still same .
My niche is www.shinedental.net. There are some website who showed up in top research of google their spam score is 7 .
I'm not sure , if the moz database update every month or when we crawl the website . I delete the campaign and re-run it.

As Samantha mentioned, the Spam Analysis tool is not a 100% accurate tool, it's more of a 'helping tool'. With the tool its best use is to get some ideas on what poor links are pointing towards your site. Even then you need to take the results with a grain of salt. The tool may give you a spam score that is not entirely accurate, you need to examine the links and make sure it is actually spammy. You'll also notice that the tool doesn't pull all the back links to your site. Moz doesn't have the capability that Google does to crawl that much quantity. To get a complete list of your links go into Google Search Console.
If you're seeing your rankings and domain authority increasing this is a good sign Google noticed your disavow.
Hope this helps.

Hey! Samantha from Moz’s Help Team here!
To be fully transparent, our Spam Score metrics haven't been updated in some time, so they're not fully current. If you've made progress towards reducing the links from spammy sites going to your site in recent weeks and months, this likely will not be reflected in Open Site Explorer until our Spam Scores update. (Unfortunately, I don't have an ETA on when that will be - sorry about that!).
So, it's entirely possible that Google is no longer penalizing these sites and that they're not considered spammy by Google any longer. I know that makes our Spam Analysis tool not super helpful, since it isn't up to date, but I hope this helps to explain why you're still seeing those spam scores.
As always, you can reach out to our team directly by sending an email to [email protected] but I hope this helps!

Hello Moz Community, I'm facing spam score issue on my site General Queen according to MOZ my website spam score is 30% but anybody can explain how can i decrease it? Firstly I disavowed all low-quality and high spam score links (6 months ago) but my spam score was not decreased after that I created some high-quality and 0 spam score backlinks but still, my spam score is same 😞 According to Moz link explorer, my domain backlinks spam score ratio was below; Stats of 14 July 2019 .. Screen shot is attached 1-30% .. 45.3%

31-60% .. 30.7%
61-100% .. 4.2% You can see a huge difference in the backlinks spam score in it. But why my spam score is still 30%? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks & Regards, abu1NiB XGLkr5z1 -
Why such bad scores?
Hi all, I'm a bit frustrated because in open site explorer, my site is appearing with the worst possible scores for everything. (see attch.) However, about 2 months ago I published my site onto a bunch of places using the Yext service. I also manually created 50+ additional links and citations as well as accounts on all the major social media sites. So, how come I get such bad scores and even a big fat zero on inbound links? Thanks! bYCpm

If for few links the spam score is not discovered, then what is the possibility of risks for those links?
For one of the links, I was checking the domain authority and spam score for which the domain authority was 65 and spam score was not discovered. In such links how do I assume or what are the chances of risks with these links?
