        @eli-myers Hello, I have a question about disavow links.

        We have some backlinks which have high spam scores, we gave google for disavowing, but we don't know when Moz will see that we gave google those links to disavow them.

          Hi Eli,

          Any update on this feature? It's been over a year now since your post above. Has this moved on to the development roadmap now?

          Thanks
          Tom

            Hi Eli Myers,

            Thanks for sharing that information! Just one more question - Does this mean that spam scores are also not updated since the links are still showing in Moz? What are the appropriate steps to take to lower spam scores and as a result, improve DA?

                Thanks Eli 🙂 for response on the question, actually we do not know who is making bad links for our website. He is putting our website links on spamy websites, and MOZ is crawling and showing our website is spamy too. We have already put that links in disavow. But Still we are unable to remove that links or unable to contact with spamy websites and they are also not replying on our emails too.

                Hope ! you will also create a new best strategy same as google disavow tool.

                Thanks

                  Hi,

                  Thanks for contacting us!

                  We unfortunately will not detect that a link has been disavowed, this isn’t something we were able to include in the old or new DA models. Since disavowing links doesn't actually remove a link, it just signals to Google that the links isn't important, our crawler will continue to find the link.  We are working on having something like that built into Link Explorer, where if you disavow a link in Google, you can also mark it as disavowed in Moz, but I’m afraid that option isn't available yet.

                  Links will not drop out of the Moz index unless the links are actually removed and no longer link to you, or if we’re unable to crawl the page the link is on.

                  We’ll continue to improve our Domain Authority and Page Authority algorithms and strengthen our link index as the search landscape changes. In terms of future updates, we anticipate this new DA model being quite stable over time. We will keep track of possible changes that we might need to make and we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

                  I hope this helps but please let us know if there's more we can help to clarify!

                  Eli

                    Unsolved New Google SERP Now Lazy Loading

                    serp moz local

                    Hello, Google has changed the way it displays it's SERPs with lazy loading new listings. Because of this the Moz Chrome Extension no longer shows results past first results. I also often find that when a site is ranked above the Maps, it doesn't display results. Is there a fix for this?

                    Is there an automated way to import Keyword Rank Tracker data in Google Data Studio?

                    I am creating an SEO Dashboard in Google Data Studio.
                    While it's easy to import data from Google Search Console, I have troubles in importing data from Mozzarellas tools. I thought about uploading a CSV file with the ranking to a Google Sheet Document, but I cannot find a way to do this at regular intervals with manual intervention.

                    How do you use Moz to research related topics?

                    Like most of the folks here I'm a pretty big fan of the content that comes out through Whiteboard Fridays, and I try to apply the things I learn, but one of the WBF videos that I'm following along with does not do a stellar job of detailing execution using Moz KW Explorer. https://cloudz.click/blog/related-topics-in-seo-whiteboard-friday Now granted, this came out in 2016, but I still feel the core principle and strategy results in a higher quality piece of content and is still relevant to discovering and understanding searcher task completion requirements, and drafting content that fulfills those requirements. Towards the end Rand sort of mentions that you'll be able to do this with KW explorer, but I'm not really seeing the functionality. The steps I followed were to enter in the keyword in kw explorer, went to keyword suggestions, and selected "based on closely related topics" and ran it, but received no suggestions - came up blank. I then selected "based on broadly related topics" and the same thing happened. I tried this out with the keyword r22, keeping it very broad to start but that didn't seem to work. So what do you all do to perform this sort of research within Moz? Or do you even feel it's relevant in today's Rank Brain driven world?

                    Moz not updating the spam score metrics

                    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!"

                    URL Link Counts

                    Hi Can someone clarify what the URL link counts in the SERP report means? Is this total internal links on this page? My followed internal links are very high compared with sites I am comparing against, some sites only have 1 internal followed link - is this possible? Have they simply no followed all the rest on that page?
