What Is Majestic Trust Flow (TF)?

Trust Flow (TF) is Majestic’s 0–100 score measuring how close a site is to the web’s most trusted sources. It flows from a hand-reviewed seed set of highly trusted sites outward through links — making it the hardest authority metric to fake.

Why TF resists manipulation

Spam links raise link counts but don’t connect you to trusted neighborhoods, so TF stays flat while Citation Flow climbs — a mismatch every experienced buyer checks. Ten links from genuinely trusted sites move TF more than a thousand junk links.

TF benchmarks run low

The scale is stingier than DR/DA: TF 20 is decent, TF 30 is respectable, TF 50 is genuinely strong. Comparing TF numbers against DR numbers directly is a rookie mistake.

Who checks TF

Domain investors (it drives valuations), guest-post buyers (high-TF placements command premiums) and anyone doing due diligence on link quality.
