Unsolved Google results linking domains
-
When I check the linking domains of a root domain, a lot of Google results from other countries appear. Does this mean all of these domains are linking to my root domain? Can anybody explain this and tell me if this can be seen as spam or not?

Google results linking domains refer to the number of unique domains that link to a specific webpage that appears in the search engine results pages (SERPs) of Google. In other words, if multiple websites link to a particular page, it can indicate that the content on that page is high-quality and relevant to the topic.
Google considers the quality and quantity of backlinks to a webpage as a ranking factor in its algorithm. Therefore, pages with a higher number of linking domains may have a better chance of ranking higher in search results for relevant queries. However, it's important to note that not all links are created equal, and Google also takes into account other factors such as the relevance and authority of the linking domains.
To check the number of linking domains for a webpage, you can use various SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Moz, Majestic, or SEMrush. These tools can provide you with a detailed analysis of a website's backlink profile, including the number of linking domains, the authority of those domains, and other metrics that can help you evaluate the quality of a website's backlinks.

When you check the linking domains of a root domain, you may see Google results from other countries because search results can vary depending on your location and search settings. This does not necessarily mean that all of these domains are linking to your root domain.
To determine if a link from a foreign website is considered spam or not, you should evaluate the quality and relevance of the linking website. If the website is a reputable source in its respective country or language, and the link is relevant to your content, then it can be considered a legitimate link. On the other hand, if the linking website has low-quality content or appears to be part of a network of spammy websites, then the link may be considered spam.
It's important to note that the quantity of links is not the only factor that search engines consider when evaluating the quality and relevance of a website. The quality and relevance of the linking website, the anchor text used for the link, and the context of the link all play a role in determining the value of a link.
In summary, the appearance of search results from other countries when checking the linking domains of a root domain is not necessarily an indication of spammy links. To evaluate the quality of a link, you should consider the relevance and reputation of the linking website.

Unsolved Spam Score Blank - Looking For Feasible Solution
Hi,
Link Explorer | | Jane090987
There is a question in my website. When I'm searching the number of spam score of my site, it shows "--".
In the official article it shows that the reason of "--" happens is that our site has not been evaluated by Moz. But there aren't any ways of solutions, seems that we can only wait - not knowing how long - for being evaluated.
Is there any way that I can get my site evaluated by Moz, and the spam score of my website can be displayed as an exact number?
Thanks for answering in advance!0 -

Is the Link Tracking Lists feature broken?
I used to be able to create a list of links via Link Tracking Lists and within 8 days Moz bot would visit and index the links in the Moz database. However, this no longer works. Is it broken? I have used this previously without issues, and tried several times over 20 days, but nothing. Anyone else having issues? Moz support - is this feature broken? If so, when do you envisage having it fixed? Thanks

Why is Open Site Explorer Showing me Spammy Links That I Already Removed?
Every two months or so, I like to download the OSE list of all the backlinks passing equity to my site. I do this so I can see which spammy links I need to try and remove. However, I see that OSE is still showing me links that I already removed...Either A) the page that is being linked to is 404-ed B) the spammy website that was linking doesn't exist anymore or C) the spammy site still exists, but the link is GONE. Why is OSE still spidering these sites and links? Does that mean Google is still spidering these links? Should I disavow them to be safe? Thank you! P.S We are not experiencing any drastic drops in traffic or penalties at the moment.

Can anyone explain the cause of having root domain metrics much smaller than subdomain metrics?
Hi!! I'm comparing OSE metrics for a site named like www.mydomain.com and have the following results: Subdomain MozTrust 5.65 (that is www.mydomain.com subdomain) Root domain MozTrust 0.82 (that is mydomain.com domain) On the other hand one of my competitor have: Subdomain MozTrust 3.68 (that is www.otherdomain.com subdomain) Root domain MozTrust 3.67 (that is otherdomain.com domain) Both websites' root domains point to the www subdomain. So how come in my domain theres is such a huge difference between these metrics and on the competitor's site both values are very similar? I'd greatly appreciate any comment on this. Cheers, David
