How it works

  1. Runs four checks on every linker: junk TLD, spam keyword, link farm outbound volume, hyphen stuffing.
  2. Weights them and reports how much of the sample tripped a rule.
  3. Shows the reason per domain so you can overrule it when the heuristic is wrong.

Where it stops

  • Heuristic only.
  • Not a penalty assessment.

Common questions

Is this Moz Spam Score?

No. It's four rules applied to domain names and outbound counts. Moz uses a trained model on a much bigger data set.

Should I disavow the flagged domains?

Almost certainly not. Google's own advice is that most sites shouldn't use the disavow tool at all. Act on a manual action or clear evidence of negative SEO, not on a list like this.

Why does my site show a risk score when nothing is wrong?

The score is the share of sampled linkers that matched a rule. A site with a lot of directory links scores higher without doing anything wrong.
