I missed this, until Eric Ward told me.

I am guessing this will be good news for ahrefs and Majestic?

Yeah, but hasen't been unuseful for a long time. I haven't used it for years..

Majestic all the way.

In practice it's been dead for nigh on a decade

Yeah this just makes it official.

>Majestic all the way.

Lately they have been a bit crap, since last couple updates. Missing more and more links that ahrefs finds.

> Missing more and more links

Yeah, agreed. Seeing more and more sites blocking the majestic (and other) crawlers. Still using the Topical trust flow a lot for checking relevance of links.

Either way, the link: operator was/is crap

What was the command that I think NFFC found that got removed.

Am I right that there was one.
