The Spam Score is a metric used in the field of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to determine the probability that a website will be penalized or marked as spam by search engines. It was developed by SEO software company Moz, and is based on a series of 17 indicators that can suggest spammy behaviors.
The Spam Score evaluates a total of 17 spam signals on a website, and assigns each of them a value of 1 or 0, depending on whether the signal is present or not. Some of these signals include the use of unethical SEO techniques, the presence of links to low-quality sites, or the lack of contact information on the website.
