â Majestic FAQ
Why do Majestic's new/lost links only show 116 days of data?
We use Majestic's fresh data, which they keep for new and lost backlinks only for 116 days. Since they don't keep this information beyond that, we can't display it after those 116 days, either.
How can I confirm majestic backlinks are accurate?
We pull data directly from Majestic. This can be verified by checking the backlink sources as listed in your Majestic data source dashboard:
To manually verify backlinks, you can click on any of those backlinks and view the source code of the webpage. To view the source code of a webpage, either:
Press CTRL + U
or
Right click a blank part of the web page, and select "View page source":
As an example, below is our AgencyAnalytics Features page. There is a backlink to Capterra on the bottom right:
Once we open the source code of this page, we can select CTRL + F to search for "Capterra". We can then see the backlink, beginning with https://www. as shown below:
If backlinks are appearing in footers and/or on sites that have a lot of pages, this can contribute to a high number of backlinks:
Why doesn't my New and Lost Links chart match the Backlinks line chart in the Links section?
The Backlinks chart in the Links section shows your full backlink history pulled from Majestic's complete database. The Summary>New and Lost Links chart, however, use a separate real-time data source that only tracks recent changes. Because these are two different data sources, the numbers won't always line up â this is expected behavior.
The Summary section showing the New / Lost Links chart, this pulls from Majestic's real-time data source and may not match the totals shown in the Links section.
The Backlinks line chart, this reflects your full historical backlink data from Majestic's complete database.
Important to note: Any widgets that show data broken down by any parameter (i.e. no follow vs. follow backlinks), will not take the URL scope into account and will show the total number of backlinks for the root domain.
Why don't my Trust Flow and Citation Flow numbers match what I see on Majestic.com?
Trust Flow (TF) and Citation Flow (CF) are calculated differently for a URL than for a domain. These are two separate metrics, and they're not meant to be compared to each other.
â
AgencyAnalytics displays the domain-level TF/CF, since it represents the overall authority of an entire domain rather than a single page. If you're checking your numbers directly on Majestic.com and seeing a different score, you're likely viewing the URL-level TF/CF instead.
â
Majestic's flow metrics are scored on a 0â100 scale that's designed for domain-to-domain and URL-to-URL comparisons only, not for comparing domain scores against URL scores
To confirm the numbers match:
Go to Majestic.com and look up your domain.
Switch the URL scope from URL to Root Domain.
Compare that score to the domain TF/CF shown in AgencyAnalytics. The numbers should now match.
If your Client's match type setting is configured differently than expected, that can also cause the numbers you see to differ.
