Shady Score's overall reputation score for an owner is the simple average of the owner's websites and network reputations. If an owner has no network, then it is 100% based on its websites, and vice versa.

None of these ratings are based on anything partisan or conflicted. They are entirely based on publicly known characteristics of websites and networks.

Consequently, almost all owners displayed here receive a green light. Well more than 90% are not associated with the hackers, scammers, spammers and trackers we've come to loathe on the Internet.

Shady Score's website reputation score measures the extent to which the listed websites are known to do bad things to users. We aren't talking about bad taste or bad customer service or even bad language. No--The websites that are classified as bad here are websites that are publicly known to go out of their way to harm the people who visit them.

About 91% of websites do not do any of these intentionally negative things to their users. These receive a score of 100 and a green light. A green and yellow light are for scores above 80. So, 93% of website owners receive a green or a green and yellow light.

A yellow light is for scores between 50 and 80. A red and yellow light is for scores between 30 and 50. A red light score is reserved for scores below 30, which is the bottom 4% of website owners. No light and an N/A score indicates that listed websites are not being tracked as potentially problematic.

Extremely bad things would be something like sending malware to harm someone's computer or hosting a known scam that rips people off. Less bad but still bad things would be that their websites contain those advertisement traps that you can never leave. No matter how many times you try to close that popub box, it never lets you leave. Another example would be NSFW on their websites like porn or gore. So, not ruin your computer or steal your money bad, but still bad stuff.

Less bad than that are websites that intentionally spy on you and track you as you move about online. Most people are unaware of when this happens, but these are the websites that spy on you and, for example, tell retailers that you've been looking at baby strollers. Creepy. The least bad websites are those that send you ads. Not one ad, and you're done, but loads and loads of ads all over the Internet. These are the ad networks that bombard you with ads at every opportunity.

We rank each of these websites both in terms of how harmful they are to users and in terms of how pervasive their harms are. Also, we do not include so-called speech harms, in which someone writes something on the Internet that you disagree with.

Instead, we're talking about malware, scams, porn, spying on you and relentless advertisements. Some of thes are orders of magnitude worse than others, and that is very much taken into account as scores are calculated.

Shady Score's network reputation score for a network owner measures the extent to which their servers and devices are known to do bad things to users. As with website reputation, this isn't about bad customer service or slow download speeds. For a network to be considered bad, it is hosting hackers, scammers or spammers.

Approximately 97% of networks never allow these things on their networks. These receive a score of 100 and a green light. A green and yellow light are for scores above 80. So, about 98% of all networks receive a green or a green and yellow light. A yellow light is for scores between 60 and 80. A yellow and red light is for scores between 50 and 60. A red light is reserved for scores below 50, which is the bottom 1-1.5% of all networks. No light indicates that there are no networks listed.

Networks are scored based both in terms of how harmful the stuff they allow on their network and on how much of their network is comprised of harmful stuff. Harmful stuff runs the gamut from malware, hackers and scams to spam bots and scanners that try to identify any cybersecurity vulnerabilities in your computer or website.
