Having a website, how often have you conducted performance analyses on it? What was on your mind when you noticed the spam score was beyond average? Was it a little disappointing? Well, you can relax—Google is here to surprise you.
Recently, a member expressed concern on Reddit over the spam score of their website from a well-known SEO tool, believing it would impact their Google ranking. Mr. John Mueller from Google gave a surprising response: Google does not use these third-party spam scores to rank websites.
Yes, those spam ratings are merely the result of third-party technologies using their algorithms. How does Google rank things? That is unique. They care more about things like the quality of your content, how easy it is for people to use your site, and whether you’re following best practices. So, any external tools can assist you in identifying possible problems in your website, but they won’t make or break your rating.
The takeaway is straightforward: Google doesn’t care about those spam scores from third-party tools. Keep your website simple and easy to use, focus on producing content that matters, and let Google’s algorithm take care of the rest. You’ll be in much better shape focusing on what impacts your ranking rather than stressing over numbers that don’t.
