Solving Spam Problems on an E-Commerce

Hello!

According to Moz, I have the following problems with Spam on my e-commerce:

âœ" Low MozTrust or MozRank Score
The site link profile is not trustworthy.

âœ" Large Site with Few Links
We found very few sites linking to this site, considering its size.

âœ" Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains
The ratio of followed to nofollowed domains linking to this subdomain is outside the normal
range of others in our index.

âœ" Small Proportion of Branded Links
Links to this subdomain have low amounts of branded anchor text.

âœ" Thin Content
A subset of pages within this subdomain have little content.

âœ" Low Number of Pages Found
Crawl only gets a valid response to a small number of pages.

I was chocked when I saw a score of 7/17 on Moz Open Site Explorer. But I am already taking some actions to change this. Here are some data and more info:

Low Moz Trust and Moz Score: I have a MozRank of 4,04 and a MozTrust 4,02. Is this really bad? Because one of my competitors has 10x the number of access than I have and their score are 5 for both rankings.

Large Site with Few Links: I have 2.3k External Links and my competitor that is 10x bigger than me has 2.5k External Links.

Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains: all my competitors have almost 10% of No Follow Links and all my links are Do Follow. I've started to build partnerships and ask for bloggers to put links with No Follow tag.

Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains: same as the above.

Small Proportion of Branded Links: will look for links opportunities to put the name of my store. That's the way to solve this, right?

Thin Content: as I have an e-commerce, should I wrote more details on my landing pages and product pages?

Low Number of Pages Found: I do not have any warning on Google Webmaster telling me that my pages aren't being crawled correctly.

So, basically what I am doing is searching for Backlinks Opportunities mostly in posts (to have more relevance). I was wondering in doing Backlinks in the Sidebar with No Follow tag to have a increase in the number of No Follow tags.

Please, give me advice on this! I am really scared in being penalized!

      Yukon, I agree with you. Some of the problems are really non-sense. I exposed the data and there is no way to I have some of the issues.

      Do you think that is ok to keep my Linking Building strategy with links in content but also in Sidebar of the blogs?

        You said the sidebar links are nofollow in OP so they basically don't exist as far as SEO.

          Yukon, I was willing to do them with the No Follow tag to increase the number of No Follow links.

          Currently my Sidebar Links are all with Do Follow! The blogs that put my link in their sidebars aren't adding the tag No Follow, so they are considered for SEO.

          Hope that I made myself clear.

    Moz can never be accurate as they only ever have a fraction of your backlink profile

      Thanks, Jamie!

      Do you think so that I do not have reasons to worry about this?

      Moz can never be accurate because, well, it's moz. End of story.

      Completely meanigless BS made up metrics.

      But they sure have nailed the webmasters....

        As I do all the SEO stuff by myself and also learned all alone, I really considered the data that came from Site Explorer on Moz because all their info was really useful for me.
