The thematic citation index, which is simply called TCI among seo specialists, was introduced as a site metric by the Yandex search engine in time immemorial. The thematic citation index displays the number of referring sites of similar topics. It is calculated entirely for the site. Previously, TCI was used in the ranking formula and directly influenced the position in the search results. With the development of search algorithms, TCI has ceased to be relevant as a metric. With the introduction of algorithms of the MatrixNet class, based on machine learning and assessors' assessments, TCI almost completely lost its meaning. However, the TCI is recalculated regularly. And at the moment TCI is one of the "puzomerok" that affect the price of links sold from the site. That is why every novice web-master almost immediately begins to wonder how to check the site's TCI.
