Blog for Link building with 67% spam score

[jameswilsonjw455]

I am working for services website and planning to collaborate with online magazine and get blogs about our services and backlink. This digital magazine is specially for lifestyle blogs having DA 51 and spam score 67%. I need a suggestion. Should I do collaboration with this spam score. Is it safe to get backlink from the website with this 67% spam score? How could we find the real cause of the spam that digital magazine(we don't own)?

Short answer? You can't find that answer.

The real question is "Should we even try, given this score?"

That's up to you. Me? I don't go hunting links. Never have. If others link to me, that's up to them.

Never have collaborated, never will.

That's even way before there was a web (I am Old Phart) where being in the crowd often ended up not so good. :)

YMMV

From a different perspective, build YOUR site to the point and service that "this other site wants to collaborate with you" than the other way around. If you are clean and lean, rising and doing it right, why would you expend any effort with a site with a "spam score"?

Link relevancy is critical whatever you decide to do. If I were you I would not be collaborating at all just to get backlinks and it has nothing to do with spam score. I won't put links on my sites unless they make sense(ie: citation or helpful to visitor). Never have.

I just wanted to point out how critical link relevancy has become. Look at your own backlinks section in your search console, Google doesn't seem to like all internal links either.

Spam scores and DA are an opinion and opinions can be wrong. I've seen where quality links were judged by a tool as spammy.

Tool scores should absolutely NOT be regarded as correct data. It's better to regard them as an unreliable convenience.

Unless you have little experience and understanding, trust your own judgment.

I've seen sites that have a DA of 65 but are only 9 months old and receiving fewer than 50 visits a month. It didn't stop them from getting 3k new backlinks from those 50 monthly visitors, lol.

I've also seen sites for sale with a completely legit looking analytics report. Even after gaining access to check analytics it looked legit. It wasn't.

As Martinibuster said, trust your instincts, not an arbitrary value provided by not-Google.

If you want to take my opinion then I say NO. Because 67% is Danger Level. I love to deal with 1% but sometimes I lose my self to 10-15% if the website is relevant with information rich content. But I ignore what you said.
