: Which Trust Flow and Citation Flow matters? Domain's Trust Flow Citation Flow? or URL's Trust Flow Citation Flow? TF = Trust Flow CF = Citation Flow DA = Domain Authority PA = Page Authority

@Sarah324

Let's don't focus on other people metrics, and let me tell you the truth about the links.

Good links you/me can't build, it should earn by naturally, and Google is pretty smart on that

When we talk about backlinks then many of Google metrics are changed, of course pagerank is one of them, but Google using many of other private factor like Page Expert Score.

Majestic and other link analyser(ahref, seoprofiler, moz etc) just crawl the links and calculate the value of website or webpages based on links only, while in reality Google use the content of that page from the links is pointing to some other webpage. There are no any link analyser goes deeper like Google crawler go. Do other link analyster use the webpage title, heading content and paragraph content while calculating their metrics, absolutely not, they just do calculation based on links only, while Google calculate their private metrics based on query/keyword from both side of webpage(from someone webpage to your webpage).

Let's come to the your question.

If you get links from any domain name to your site or webpage then some of Google metrics will get affect but it does not powerful as you think, because as I said, Google check the webpage (whole webpage content not just anchor text) from which it links to it. So if you get backlinks from any webpage like "abc.com/article.html" and the article name is "How to Get my adsense payment" and that page link to your "any of your adsense payment related page" then it will benefits you a lot, here you'll not get higher PageRank as compare to, if it links from main homepage, but you'll get higher Google Page Expert Score and other private metrics, which can help you to rank that article well, because that is how Google identify links are natural.

Google many of factors depend on backlinks, but it will affect only if Google see those links naturally. Yes when link is dofollow then, on some of metrics you will get higher value but for others private metrics you will get zero score(For example footer links, widget links, author bio links, forum signature links and list goes so on)

Also the link analyser tool is not powerful as you think, I have put one comment on one of IBM company and I see Google see that links in few days, while other backlink analsyer still did not see that links after a year, because they still follow the link pattern.
