Majestic Trust Flow vs topical relevance

Majestic Trust Flow vs topical relevance

The myth: links from low Trust Flow domains are "toxic" and should be disavowed.

Reality: Trust Flow is a link-graph propagation metric, not a Google penalty signal. A relevant link from a small, low-TF niche blog can be worth more than a high-TF link from an irrelevant authority.

— Trust Flow: measures distance from Majestic's seed set — useful for prospecting, useless as a toxicity verdict.
— Relevance: the thing Google's link systems actually weigh.

Actually, chasing TF leads people to disavow exactly the kind of small relevant links that earned trust honestly.

Reality check: low Trust Flow is not a synonym for toxic — irrelevant is the only word that matters.
