How Topical Trust Flow places a domain in Reference
Majestic classifies every linking page into one of about 800 topics and computes a Trust Flow per topic. A domain appears in the Reference niche when Reference sites are among the sources of its trust; its Reference Topical Trust Flow (TTF) says how much. For a site in this niche, look for a TTF of 10 or more, an overall Trust Flow close to it, and a Trust Flow to Citation Flow ratio near 1: that is a domain whose links are relevant, trusted and not padded.
Open a domain's page to see all of its topics with their values, the anchor text and the languages of its links, and use the Advanced search to combine the Reference topic with any other metric, for example TTF 15+, DA 20+ and a price under $100.

Reference niche questions
How does a domain end up in the Reference niche?
Majestic gives every backlink a topic from the Open Directory categories and rolls them up into Topical Trust Flow per topic. A domain is listed here when Reference sites are among the sources of its trust; the higher its Reference Topical Trust Flow, the more of its authority came from that niche.
Topical Trust Flow or overall Trust Flow: which matters?
Both. Overall Trust Flow says how trusted the backlink profile is; the Reference Topical Trust Flow says how much of that trust is on-topic. For a site in this niche a domain with Topical Trust Flow 10 or more and a Trust Flow to Citation Flow ratio near 1 is the target; a high overall score with a low topical score usually means links from unrelated or spammy sites.
How do I buy an expiring Reference domain?
Bid in the registrar auction where the name is listed (Namecheap, DynaDot, GoDaddy, DropCatch), buy it at the fixed price when it has one, or place a backorder so a drop-catching service registers it for you the moment it drops. Every row links to the listing and shows the metrics before you spend anything.
How many Reference domains are expiring right now?
108 names with Reference backlinks are in the list at the moment, 10 of them ending in the next 24 hours and 102 with Reference Topical Trust Flow 10 or more.
Every single day since 2014 I log onto DomCop.com and look for valuable expiring domain names. Literally. I've found so many great domains there that I've either put into my domain investing portfolio, built on and created a revenue generating site that I later sold, or used in my efforts to create other valuable websites. I cannot recommend this tool enough--it is robust and powerful, and I easily filter out the thousands of terrible expiring names to consistently find the diamonds.
