Overall Rating
This is based on the other 3 metrics – all weighed equally – and will give you a quick sense of how trustworthy a domain is.
Domain Authority
A measure of the domain’s authority out of 100. The higher the number, the more authoritative the domain is considered to be.
A domain authority of 50+ gets top marks applied to the overall rating.
This metric comes courtesy of the Moz API.
From the Moz website…
Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine result pages (SERPs). Domain Authority scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to greater likelihood of ranking.
Spam Score
A measure of how “spammy” a website is considered to be. The lower the %, the better.
This metric comes courtesy of the Moz API.
From the Moz website…
Spam Score represents the percentage of sites with similar features to the site you’re researching which we’ve found to be penalized or banned by Google.
Domain Age
A simple calculation of the age of the domain, based on when it was first registered.
A domain age of 5+ years gets top marks applied to the overall rating.
