Why would my site return an error when using Open Site Explorer to crawl it?

[MindSpark]

I have built several new sites over the last few months for others, but recently built a new one for myself.  I have gone through most of the checklists from this site to address on-page SEO, and now I am looking at link building.

When using Open Site Explorer, I receive an error saying that no information about the URL is available, even when I add competitor sites.

Wondering if this is a common issue and if there is a convenient remedy?

thanks!

The site is yet to be crawled by OSE. It is updated every month or so.

Please check the calendar for more details on next update.

How new is your website ? Do you have any sites linking to you currently ? You might want to check under Google Webmaster Console or Majestic SEO to see if they are reporting any backlinks (if at all they exist). If not, I would just concentrate on building links and eventually OSE will find you.

Thanks.  My URL is only about 30 days old and I don't yet have any back links, though I will shortly.  I'll just keep at it and focus on this and check again in a few weeks.

You can actually check back in a day or two. A little bird told me we have an index update coming out very soon (keep an eye on the blog, we always post there).
