One of the original backlink-index tools, built around Trust Flow and Citation Flow.
#10 of 11 in Backlink Analysis by Overall Score
Majestic is a long-established backlink analysis tool, known for its own link-quality metrics (Trust Flow and Citation Flow) and a historical link index.
Majestic provides separate Fresh and Historic link indexes, so an analyst can inspect a recent link profile alongside a longer historical record. Trust Flow and Citation Flow summarize different properties of the observed graph, while Topical Trust Flow supplies category-level context. None of these vendor metrics should be treated as a Google ranking score.
Calculated from facts we verified on Majestic's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 55 that orders our lists.
