Hi there!
Our machine learning model identified 27 common features among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.
8. Phone Number Present Spam sites rarely have real phone numbers present on their pages. 10. Email Address Present Email addresses are almost never present on spam sites. It's recommended to have these but it doesn't explicitly it needs to be on the contact page.
You can read more about Spam Score on our Help Hub - including an awesome video that explains how to use the score as well as the factors we use to calculate the score.
If you have any further questions, please email us at [email protected].

The Moz Spam Score is calculated based on a multitude of factors. Those factors are listed publicly by Moz here.
Looking over the factors, not having an "about" or "contact" page doesn't increase your spam score. Many sites nowadays are single-page, so it wouldn't make a lot of reasoning into increasing their spam score as they might have implemented the "contact" and "about" sections on the homepage.
However, you do get a higher Moz spam score if you have a low number of pages.
I'd like to also add that the Moz spam score is just an estimate by Moz generally used for measuring the quality of a site's backlinks, so it doesn't directly reflect the opinion that search engines have on the said sites.

Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?
Hi, my boss is asking if you "have any API for keyword research -- e.g., as soon as a user creates a card title in [our application], we can auto-recommend keywords from Moz within [the application]. I shared a link with him to your Links API page, but he says he doesn't think that API does the above. Can you help? Thank you, Renae

MOZ API - Search Visibility
Hello there, We are looking to see if we can recreate the Search Visibility report through the API. We are wondering which API parameters and metrics we should use to recreate the report? Also, we want to distinguish between traffic coming from desktops and mobile traffic. Is this possible with the API? Which type of account do we need to use for these functionalities: the free account or paid account? We are currently using a free account. Also: we are wondering if can access historical data with the API? For instance: we want to determine the domain authority from October 2016 off on. Is this possible? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Bart Minten

Linking Moz with Excel to compare links enmass
Hi all, I'm looking for a solution which will allow me to sort a list of links by pagerank. There seems to be a couple of solutions online but neither work for me due to various updates since they were created. Can anyone give me a solution which will work today - Perhaps using Google Sheets/Excel? I have a Moz Pro subscription. Thanks, Sam

Any idea why HubSpot (which uses the MOZ api) can find our backlinks but OSE can not?
Links are showing up in the HubSpot link tool within a couple of days. OSE has our site showing zero backlinks. ahrefs is finding them too but that makes more sense. Does the API update more frequently than OSE? Any thoughts? Thanks!
