If for few links the spam score is not discovered, then what is the possibility of risks for those links?

For one of the links, I was checking the domain authority and spam score for which the domain authority was 65 and spam score was not discovered. In such links how do I assume or what are the chances of risks with these links?

Hi Sneha,

I don't think there's an easy answer to your question.

One place to start is with Moz's explanation of how scores are calculated. That'll give some insight into what to look for in a site that would ordinarily trigger SPAM flags in Moz's algorithm. Look at the table under the spam flag details sub-heading. It explains what triggers a flag. You can look at the same criteria for the site you're concerned about to get a sense of whether or not it might have a problem.

I'd also just do a gut check. 65 is a pretty high domain authority. Who links to this site? Are they well respected sites themselves? Are they linking in context? Do both sites cover the same topics?
