          <a href="https://produktion.semodu.com">semodu.com</a>

          Does someone know why?

            Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.

            Hi there! I'm sorry your site isn't showing up in Open Site Explorer yet. I'll try to explain a few reasons why this might be happening:

            There are two types of link data we capture: external and internal linking pages. In order for us to discover backlinks to your site, we need to crawl the sites and pages linking to you. Once we can find those links, we will then be able to crawl your site to find pages you link to and so forth.

            If you don't see any inbound links from external sites, there are a few things to check real quick:

            • Check your URL for typos or other errors. Did your URL cut off or contain the wrong punctuation?
            • Check out the site's navigation. Sometimes it takes multiple index updates for us to discover pages that aren't linked to from the site's primary navigation. One simple fix is to create a link to the URL from another page on the website.
            • The Mozscape index is still growing! Keep in mind that, while large, our index doesn’t cover the entire web. If you have a smaller site, it’s possible we haven’t crawled the domains linking to it. Search the pages linking to yours to see if we have indexed their links. If you need help with link building, we've got a fabulous guide here: https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/beginners-guide-to-link-building.

            If you don't see any internal links to your page:
            Make sure we're not blocked from crawling this URL or site. If our web crawlers are blocked from crawling certain pages (i.e., with "noindex" or Robots.txt), they may not be included in the index.

            For some more in-depth info, here's how we compile our index:

            • We grab the most recent index.
            • We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains).
            • We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 90,000,000,000 pages (which is about 35% the amount in Google's index).

            So, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update) then it won't show up in our index.

            Other tools, such as Webmaster Tools, Ahrefs, and Majestic will alway show more link data as they target the quantity of links, while OSE focuses more on quality and Domain Authority. It’s best to use all the tools you can to obtain a full backlink profile; I've got a post here that details why and how that is: http://www.seobook.com/comparing-backlink-data-providers

            Mozscape focuses on a breadth-first approach. Therefore we almost always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages, and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. However, deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates before we catch all of these.

            We update once a month and you can view the next scheduled update here: http://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/products/api/updates

            Hope this helps provide some clarity. Please let me know if you have any questions!

              The reason is Moz index data is relatively small than any tools. This could be the reason. However, Moz index is getting there as they running quite big chunk of index now. Hopefully, it will not be long now 🙂

                I'm trying to setup a campaign for jessicamoraninteriors.com and I keep getting messages that Moz can't crawl the site because it can't access the robots.txt.

                When setting up a new campaign for a client should I add keywords

                I'm new to Moz and SEO. When setting up a new campaign there are some keywords pre-filled. Sometimes there are a lot. Sometimes they are very client-specific rather than for the sector or for a search. Sometimes there are very few poor quality keywords. Should I research keywords so that there are as many as possible relevant keywords when first setting up the campaign or leave it as it is and add keywords later?

                Moz not able to crawl our site - any advice?

                When I try and crawl our site through Moz it gives this message: Moz was unable to crawl your site on Aug 7, 2019. Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have been through all the help and doesn't seem to be any issues. You can check the site and robots.txt here: https://myfamilyclub.co.uk/robots.txt. Anyone got any advice on where I could go to get this sorted?
