Is Spam Score Important?

[tazarbm]

Don't listen to newbies who says it's important. No it's NOT!

I said several times here... My best domain is with 81% spam score.

MOZ SS is NOT important

I see.... thanks for the tip

Well, I haven't told you anything new really. But always check the history properly. Scraping domains is borderline impossible these days. Everything has been raped at least twice at this point. Send me your niche via PM and I can send you a couple domains in that niche if you want. Free of charge. Because Christmas n all.

That's mighty nice of you but what am I going to do with the domains you give me? I barely have money to put content and get backlinks to the ones I already have lol

 

[tazarbm]

well, here's a stupid idiot if you have ever seen one: I remembered that I just extended this domain's life by 1 year 2 hours ago. Someone shoot me already

EDIT: nevermind folks! I solved this shit (contacted Namesilo support and they told me that I can cancel the renewal, so to speak).... Anyway, finally got rid of this entire issue with this domain.

Cheers!

MOZ spam score is pure horseshit. Anyone who takes this metric seriously hasn't done any serious SEO obviously.

Hi everyone,

I have been holding onto a domain name that I found 2 years ago and which I deemed to be a good domain at that time, and I held onto it without doing anything with it. And soon it will be up for renewal and I need to decide once and for all if I'm going to use it or let it expire, but before I make this decision I need to know how important MOZ's Spam Score metric is because at the moment that's the only bad stat (coloured in red) that shows up for this domain when I check it with... THIS URL

Can I get your honest opinion on this metric (spam score)? Is it such a deterrent to using domains that otherwise look good? Please let me know if it's not too big of a hassle. Pretty please

There are some answers in this thread too :

TBH, if you have powerful referring domains you can just forget about SS

Yes, it is important. You can reduce spam score by various ways such as by creating a text version, avoid HTML errors, use normal text inside hyperlink.

 

[JackWalsh]

Yeah, this is a metric you need to pay attention to since it gives you two useful pieces of knowledge relevant to SEO:
1. Your subdomain's spam choice (s)
2. The spam capacity of the subdomains of your backlinks

For creating pages and producing backlinks, both of these pieces of information are important that will push you to the top of search engines.

Most of my websites were spammed at least once in their lifetime. One situation is not a big deal, it may affect SERP but it will rise again with the time.

 

[rajputt65]

Of course. It matters a lot. It shows how many spammy or bad backlinks your site owns.

It's a totally useless metric and you have to ignore it,
don't relly in such metrics and use such tools only to check backlinks,
other than that, you should check these links manually within their content and domain

 

[tazarbm]

lol, so many contradicting opinions

Anyway, I have made up my mind guys. I won't put much emphasize on this metric anymore, but I will still check it as a last resort... and out of curiosity more than anything.

yeah, that's what I'll do... Thanks for the tip

Yes ofcourse it is. Spam score plays a great deal in terms of ranking and building backlinks. So choose carefully

 

[gihanzami]

I'd say yes but to some extent. However, it is definitely more trustable than DA or PA.

I don't think you can measure any of these

 

[pennymarketer]

Like many have said, it is not a metric that Google takes into account, but if I can choose between a domain with zero spam and one with spam (withe the rest of metrics being similar) I will always go for the first.

So no need to freak out
