Score 0-100 based on link quality. Measures trustworthiness and authority of referring domains. High TF indicates links from high-authority sites, reflecting strong search engine trust.
Score 0-100 based on backlink quantity. Measures raw influence and link equity potential. Used with TF as part of Majestic's core Flow Metrics algorithm.
External hyperlinks pointing to your site. Often used for citations. A key indicator for search engines to judge site authority.
Number of unique websites linking to you (not total links). Measures link distribution diversity. Higher value means more traffic sources and better SEO value than many links from one domain.
Majestic is a leading link data platform focused on crawling and analyzing backlinks. Its strengths: massive link index and unique quality metrics, helping SEO and authority evaluation.
TF and CF are meant to be used together. TF represents link authority; CF represents link popularity. This nuance helps distinguish high-quality, high-value links from low-quality, high-quantity links.
TF and CF are used together to assess link health. SEOs and domain investors often compare the difference to spot 'spammy link' risk – links that are easy to get, inflate CF but offer no real benefit.
Possible reasons: domain not yet discovered by crawler (common for new sites), too few backlinks to meet threshold, or domain penalized for spam. Also double-check domain spelling.
1. Trust Flow (Moz trademark) – Score 0-100 based on link quality. Majestic uses manually reviewed trusted seed sites. Sites closely connected to seeds get higher scores; those with suspicious links get lower scores. 2. Citation Flow (Moz trademark) – Score 0-100 based on backlink quantity. Measures 'link equity' or influence. Must be used with Trust Flow. 3. Backlink – A hyperlink from another website to yours. Common in citations and references. 4. Referring Domains – Number of unique domains linking to you. Different from backlinks: 1000 backlinks from one domain = 1 referring domain. Emphasizes link distribution diversity. 5. Ref IPs and Ref Subnets – Stricter quality metrics. Ref IPs = number of unique IP addresses linking to you. Ref Subnets = number of unique IP subnets. They better reflect link independence and naturalness. 6. Indexed URLs = pages indexed by search engines. Crawled URLs = pages crawled. The ratio helps diagnose issues: far fewer indexed than crawled suggests content quality problems; very low crawled suggests crawling obstacles.
