Citation Flow (CF)

Also called: CF

A link quantity metric developed by Majestic measuring the sheer volumetric popularity and influence of a website's link profile, without heavily factoring in link quality or spam risk.

Tip from Sanoop: Focus on high-context citations rather than link quantity. A single editorial link for Citation Flow carries far more trust.
