Majestic is the home of …

Trust Flow

This metric represents the quality of backlinks to URLs and websites. A web page with a higher Trust Flow than Citation Flow is typically associated with high-quality links.

Citation Flow

Reflects the quantity of links pointing to a given website. This metric does not distinguish between high-quality and low-quality links.

Visibility Flow

It can help you find desirable editorial-style links rather than directory-style links.

Use it in Link Context

Topical Trust Flow

This score indicates a website's position compared to the best sites in over 800 categories, providing an evaluation of a page's topical relevance.

Ken McGaffin talks with Ross Tavendale from Type A Media about Top Majestic backlink tips.

"The great thing about Majestic is just that the amount of data that you get and the amount of data points that you get is just completely unparalleled, and taking information out is a very clean and easy thing to do. There's a ton of connectors where you can literally just click a button and it's there."

"We make our own tools, and being able to roll your own on the fly is something really quite nice. There's a feature in the Majestic Google Sheets plugin called augment data. You can literally just highlight what you have, click augment and it's all in there. No-one else does that." Ross Tavendale, Type A Media
