Yes, it does impact your rankings in a positive way for a few weeks and a negative way later. Are you asking about the %? Nobody can answer that.

Are ShitList-section submissions no longer reviewed before going 'live'?

Spam backlinks can affect your website traffic in big time.

 

[SEOWITCH]

Because if a lot of your links are spammy, low-quality, or have extraordinarily low domain authorities, that's not a good sign to Google. So even if you have a lot of back-links leading to your website, Google still might penalize you. ... Also, linking to these websites from your own website can hurt your rankings

 

[Safox alee]

yes anything that is spam is going to affect your SEO if not directly but it can add to the spam score of your website which will eventually result into a penalty.

[HustleTong]

Yes, that's why clean profiles are always preferred.

 

[Elisa77]

Noo, there are lots of sites ranking for high competitive keywords like MBBS in that country, gold buying etc, on the first place with too much spam score.

But as soon as you build good quality links spam score will decrease.

 

[iAuthority]

Yes, it will affect the website for the long run, do frequent checks before and after building backlinks.

 

[ss1180]

i never care about spam score.

 

[Get Web Growth]

I'd say NO (unless you created those spam links for your site)

 

[Lady Trieu]

Yeah! Spam backlinks can affect your website's traffic. Always clean and neat profile will be safe.

 

[cyz]

Yes, it does impact your rankings

 

[Queen Heidi]

Definitely yes!

 

[Writerly]

It most certainly does. Spam backlinks are a good way to receive a quick and brief rank boost, then plummet within a couple of weeks.
As you’ve probably realized by this point, you should generally avoid them. Slow and steady wins the race.
