Citation Flow [CF]

Citation Flow (CF) is a Majestic metric (0-100 scale) measuring the volume of backlinks to a domain or page, reflecting its raw linking power in 2025 SEO. A higher score indicates more links. The synonym “Link Volume Score” is descriptive, while “Backlink Power” is less formal, emphasizing influence. For example, a domain with CF of 50 suggests strong link volume, ideal for PBNs. In Domain Hunter Gatherer (DHG), CF filters domains with robust link profiles. In 2025, CF is balanced with Trust Flow to avoid spammy links. Compared to Trust Flow, CF prioritizes quantity over quality. SEO professionals use CF to assess a domain’s linking strength, ensuring effective link-building. High CF domains boost SEO when paired with quality metrics. Select powerful domains with Domain Hunter Gatherer!
