            @askusedu so far it was updated but I just forgotten about it , but it seems many competitors and spa-mers increaser are taking it as job to make backlinks so you need at least monthly check up and disavow list of them otherwise if you are SS are more than 50 % then you may end up from google permanently

              @Safnah-com were you able to get any solution to this?
              I have a similar attack on my website. My website https://askusedu.com/ is just a few months old, and it seems some competitors have create a lot of spam backlinks and increased my spam score to 28%.
              After checking MOZ's articles, I can assure that i have all the necessary information on my website like genuine contact details, email, phone number, google tracking codes, and I'm not performing any spammy or shady activities.

                Solved How to reduce the spam score for my domain?

                My domain  longfeifei.com is for a regular company website and someone sent a lot of external links on different low-quality websites on the internet. Now the score is very high about 75%. If I disavow the unusual links from google search console. Is it possible to reduce the spam score? Is MOZ associated with GOOGLE Data? Thanks,
