# What is OTR (Out of Tracked Range)?

## When using Keyword.com data in DashThis, you may sometimes see OTR instead of a numeric rank. This article explains what OTR means, why it appears, and how Keyword.com’s tracking behaviour influences the values shown in your DashThis widgets.

### -What does OTR mean?

**OTR (Out of Tracked Range)** indicates that Keyword.com successfully scraped the keyword, but its position was **outside the ranking range included in your tracking setup**.

Example:

- Your Keyword.com scan tracks the **Top 20**
- The keyword’s actual rank is **#21 or higher**  
  → DashThis displays **OTR**

OTR does **not** mean the keyword is unranked. It simply means that its confirmed position is **beyond the depth tracked for that day**.

 

### -OTR vs “100”

These two values represent completely different situations.

#### OTR (Out of Tracked Range)

- The keyword was scraped
- It ranked outside your tracked range (example: #21–99 in a Top-20 scan)
- DashThis displays: **OTR**

#### “100”

- Keyword was scraped with a Top-100 scan
- It was **not found at all** in the first 100 results
- Displayed in DashThis: **100**

**OTR = rank exists but is outside your tracking range**  
**100 = keyword not found in Top 100 results**

### -How OTR behaves with Keyword.com's MCR (Maintain Continuous Rank) setting?

Keyword.com offers a setting called **Maintain Continuous Rank (MCR)**.

Although this can smooth data inside Keyword.com’s own interface, it does **not** change the values that Keyword.com sends to DashThis.

DashThis always displays the **actual scraped data** returned by Keyword.com.

#### When Keyword.com detects the keyword is out of range:

Regardless of whether MCR is ON or OFF:

- DashThis shows **OTR** as the rank
- Movement values (1-day, 7-day, etc.) display **N/A**
- DashThis does not fill missing days or infer a rank that Keyword.com did not confirm

MCR affects Keyword.com’s internal display only, not the data transmitted to DashThis.

 

### -Notes and limitations

- OTR is determined entirely by Keyword.com’s tracking depth.
- DashThis cannot display positions that Keyword.com did not include in its scrape.
- Changes to Google’s scraping limitations may affect the number of results Keyword.com is able to retrieve.
