Checklist: Majestic Trust Flow vs Ahrefs DR for prospect filtering

Checklist: Majestic Trust Flow vs Ahrefs DR for prospect filtering

Qualifying which dead-link hosts are worth pitching. Two authority lenses.

1. Use Ahrefs Domain Rating for a fast 0-100 cut — filter out hosts under your threshold quickly.
2. Cross-check survivors with Majestic Trust Flow + Topical Trust Flow to confirm the authority is topically relevant, not just raw.
3. Trigger: high DR but mismatched Topical Trust Flow → deprioritize. The link's relevance signal is weak.
4. QA gate: manually open the top 10 to confirm the metrics aren't inflated by spam links.

Automation: pull both metrics into one sheet via their APIs, compute a combined score.

Definition of done: prospects ranked by combined authority+relevance score, manual top-10 verified.
