What is Spam Score? A Guide to the Moz Metric
Ever wondered what Moz's Spam Score actually means? It's one of our most asked-about metrics, and understanding it is key when making decisions about your backlink profile and link building strategy.
In this video, you'll learn:
✅ What Spam Score is and how it's calculated
✅ How to find your own site's Spam Score in Moz's Link Explorer.
✅ How to analyze the Spam Score of the individual links pointing to your site
✅ How to use the tool to prioritize which links to investigate first
It's important to remember: A high Spam Score does not necessarily mean a site is spammy. This metric is meant to be used as guide to start an investigation, not a signal to immediately disavow a link. Always manually review a site for its content and relevance first!
