What is Trust Flow and how do you improve it?

OK so I've only really paid attention to my keyword rankings and how much traffic I get. I have not really paid too much attention to domain authority or anything else.

Anyway so I got a query from someone interested in my service for publishing a guest post on my website and he wanted to know my url.

He then came back to me and asked why my Trust Flow is so low when I have such a high following on social networks and a good domain authority?

And I just go goldfish style not knowing how to answer. I have no idea exactly what trust flow is and what impacts it and how so I just took a shot in the dark and said firstly that honestly I'm not sure, it could have something to do with the fact that I closed my online store and made my website just a blog, plus I got rid of my wholesale store which was a sub-domain and that sub-domain had very good stats...

So can anyone please tell me:

1. What is Trust Flow?
2. What impacts Trust Flow?
3. How can I actively take steps to improve my Trust Flow?
4. How important is Trust Flow?


I am looking forward to learning more about Trust Flow so I welcome all answers that can help me with this!

  1. Trust Flow predicts how trustworthy a URL will be. This is interpreted based on a backlinks nearness to the trusted and aged domains. The links that come from trusted websites are more dependable when compared to links that come from un trustable domains.
  2. Citation Flow means the popularity of a link on a website regardless of the quality of these links.

It's kind of self explanatory, more backlinks = better citation flow, more quality backlinks = better trust flow.

OK I gotcha,so building backlinks would be vital for me now since my trust flow is a low number 3... eeekkk.

I think my Citation Flow is fine but I will need to seriouslywork on my trust flow then since people are checking this when they check out my website if they are interested in paying me to publish their guest posts.

I am sure that must be because I scrapped my sub domain and it was a very strong website.

So you need high quality backlinks get that trust flow up, those are the hardest type of backlinks to get so you may want to read about how to get high quality backlinks from websites that already have a big trust flow. Once you get them to link to your website you will get some of their authority transferred to your domain.

I think you need to consider that PR work is everything to get those links, build relationships with big sites in your niche, write about them tweet about them and contact them to make yourself visible, at one point you might get mentioned and that is your ultimate goal in such a campaign.

This is my first time to read about Trust Flow and it baffles me that so many new terms are coming my way. Based on the explanation of @anwebservices above, the trust flow is directly related to the backlinks. That when you have backlinks on not so good sites then your trust flow tends to be lower. Well, this is another lesson to remember when building backlinks because users are now getting into the details of SEO.
