I am trying to figure out how you get the ratio for TF and CF? Do you divide one with the other? Also what is a good ratio you should look for
 
Yeah, you can just divide if you want to get a ratio between TF and CF. Personally, I don't use a hard and fast number to decide what is good, especially since both numbers can be manipulated. Instead, I use any discrepancies as a reason to dig even deeper into whether there's something sketchy going on under the surface.
 
Everything you need to know about the Trust Flow and Citation Flow ratio, including which one is idea, can be found at this website:

Possibly an over the top example but it proves the point! Alternet.org is a large online magazine with a huge online community, and as you can see, has a Trust Flow of 68 and Citation Flow of 54.


Trust Flow / Citation Flow = Trust Ratio aka 68 / 54 = 1.259


With a trust ratio of 1.259, you know that this site has links from trustworthy sources and is a good site to outreach to for your client.
...
rom this you can see the Trust Flow is considerably 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 and shows that this site has gained its link profile using ?spammy? techniques.


I discovered this site by looking at the backlinks of a heavily penalised site. It shows that having a lot of links from sites like these will eventually cause issues.
