Definition
Moz's indicator (percentage 0-100%) estimating the likelihood a site's backlinks are low-quality or spammy. A high Spam Score suggests a risky link profile (many toxic links), whereas a low score indicates a cleaner backlink profile.
Why It Matters for SEO
Helps identify potentially harmful backlinks that could trigger penalties. Regular monitoring allows you to disavow toxic links before they impact rankings.
