Spam Score

« Back to Glossary Index

Spam Score is a metric, typically from Moz, that estimates a website’s likelihood of search engine penalties due to spammy backlinks or low-quality practices, scored from 0–100. A higher score signals greater risk, often from unnatural link patterns or poor content. It helps users avoid harmful link sources for SEO health. Backlink Finder’s 200,000+ domain database aids in filtering out high-spam sites, using tools like Specific Website Search to secure quality guest posts. For example, skipping a site with a Spam Score above 30, identified via Backlink Finder, protects your rankings. Monitor Spam Score when selecting backlinks, and pair Backlink Finder’s quality domains with a clean backlink profile to ensure sustainable SEO success in SERPs.
