Moz metrics are trusted around the web for providing an indication as to the quality of a website. Now, the company has added a new metric known as Spam Score to help you to better predict if a site is likely to receive a Google penalty. Moz engineers have been working on the new metric for a year now and have identified 17 unique factors – which Moz calls spam flags – and turned them into an overall score.

Hi Kerry,

Thanks for sharing. SEO must surely be one of the most contentious industries around. After all, it's built on something that, by definition, no SEO can truly possess. That is an inner working knowledge of the algorithms and policies of some of the biggest search engines on the Web (Google in particular.) I have no doubt the MOZ Spam Score is based on some very good analysis of search engine behavior in the past. But the hard fact is that we've seen some of the most cunning operators cut down to size in previous Google "updates." So when using these tools keep in mind that the real experts on Google search all work at Google. And that's the way it's likely to stay, for now at least.
