Thanks - appreciate the review and look forward to good news
That's not true. All sites are different, and that's a generalization that can be misleading.
You want the TF and CF to be in the same ballpark (in other words, somewhat close to 1.0) and you check them by looking at the TF/CF ratio.
The ratio for his sites is 0.9, which is close to 1.0 and just fine. If you're below 0.6 or so, that's when there's a big problem.
From the Majestic blog:
If the Citation Flow is high and the Trust Flow is low, this means that the website being checked has a lot of link equity (or “juice”), but barely any trust from those links. This usually indicates that the site has gained those links from “spammy” areas of the web as they are not close to authoritative sources.
For the purposes of this article I will not name the site in which I have used for this example, however they are an active website accepting and regularly publishing content.
You can see the Trust Flow is considerably (emphasis added) lower than the Citation Flow. Using the same calculation you can see the difference in the trust ratio.
7 / 35 = 0.2
The trust ratio here is well below 1 (emphasis added) and shows that this site has gained its link profile using “spammy” techniques.
Hope that helps clarify things.
