The Majestic Site Explorer, more than just a Backlink Checker Tool.

The Majestic Site Explorer is a suite of SEO Tools for backlink analysis, providing a series of detailed reports that focus on a given website or page. While the focus is on the backlink profile and referring domains of a "target" page or website, the data can come from many sources.

The Key Performance Metrics available in our Premium Backlink Checker

Majestic provides access to accurate and up-to-date data for:

• Trust Flow

  Trust Flow has become an industry-standard ranking signal used by SEOs and Digital Marketers to identify quality content. We based our proprietary algorithm on a seed set of human-curated sites likely to link to other human-curated quality content, which in turn link to more human-curated content.

• Citation Flow

  Citation Flow is another key proprietary metric to evaluate the quantity of links that point to a website. Citation Flow scores are available at URL, subdomain and domain level.

• Topical Trust Flow

  Topical Trust Flow metrics can help identify how influential a web page or website is for a specific topic. Over 800 pools of sites have been identified and classified, and the algorithm follows outbound links from these pages, passing along a strength signal and classification by topic. A detailed description of how Trust Flow works is available in the article Really understanding Topical Trust Flow

• Link Graph

  Link Graph is an advanced SEO tool, used to check both backlinks and backlink profiles. Link Graph scans massive amounts of data to provide an accurate visual representation of all the backlinks pointing to a website, including those of your competitors. With Link Graph you can easily identify backlinks that may boost your SEO efforts for better rankings in the search engines, as well as backlinks that could potentially harm your rankings by leading to spammy or low-quality content.

• Link Profile Charts

  Link Profile Charts are a simple yet powerful way to visualise the distribution of backlinks in a backlink profile based on their values of Trust Flow and Citation Flow. By organising all the backlinks on a 101x101 grid, we can compress billions of backlinks into a single image in a similar way to a scatter graph. Giving you an at-a-glance overview of the type of sites that link to your search. Link Profile maps the Authority and popularity of backlinks to your website.

• External Inbound Links

  Backlinks are the incoming links from a different website or referring domain. Within the SEO industry, "backlinks" can sometimes be called "inbound links".

• Referring Domains

  👁 Referring Domains data - Majestic.com
  

  Referring domains, also known as "ref domains", are websites with a backlink pointing to a page or link to the site being analysed.

• Referring IPs

  👁 Referring IPs data - Majestic.com
  

  This metric refers to an IP address which hosts at least one website that contains a link to the given target URL or Domain. Many domains (websites) can be hosted on one IP address. For more information on referring IPs, see the Advanced Reports Page in the tools section of our help guide.

• Referring Subnets

  The C-subnet count is useful, as the same class C-subnet can be used by one or associated organisations. Counting the unique linking relationships across C-subnets can also be useful for larger sites.
