The reliable metrics play a vital role when you are in search of finding valuable domains in order to create a private blog network. Let’s see what metrics are available now in this regard.
Google PageRank
Now you may not need to look at Google PageRank any more. It is an old metric that Google used. Though it is still important, it is not updated any more publicly. If anything that shows you PageRank is using old data and it does not reflect updates on sites that maybe didn’t used to have PR, or may give a false indication that a domain is still strong. This is why it is considerable to use Majestic and Moz to check the credibility of domains.
TF CF, DA and PA
TF, CF and DA, PA are metrics, the ways of measuring things and they are used by Majestic and Moz respectively. TF and CF stand for Trust Flow and Citation Flow while DA and PA stand for Domain Authority and Page Authority. Since Google keeps most of the data to itself, we have to look at other info too. What these websites do is crawl the web and use their own way to give websites ‘credibility’ scores. Another one of these ‘Aggregators’ that we use is AHREFS. Since the Google PageRank is no longer available publically, checking TF, CF and DA, PA has become a major factor in analyzing the importance of a website.
Which metrics should you prefer?
Majestic has a huge record of websites and its metrics give an excellent measure of how powerful and trustworthy a website is. This is correlated extremely well to the power and trust that Google assigns domains and the pages on those domains. Moz isn’t quite as large or updated quite as often, so the DA and PA, whilst still a good measure of authority, are not quite as important inn judging the value of a PBN domain as compared to TF and CF. Majestic also gives us a good indication of the type of backlinks to the site, the niche they relate to and if they are spammy. You can double check this with AHREFS which is an excellent source of finding the information about backlinks.
