Most of the time the problem is simply a matter of how you’re looking up your stats versus how Master Site Manager looks them up.
For example we look up your site in the format:
“http://www.yourdomain.com”
Remember, you want to compare apples to apples here, so it’s very important to put both the “http://” AND the “www” in your domain so that you are looking up your site the same way we do.
If you play around with it and do your searches in Yahoo for example, you’ll see the effects using the “http” and the “www” when searching vs., not using them. The differences are really quite dramatic.
We’ve done a lot of testing and found this format to be the most accurate.
But What If Your SEO Results Still Don’t Match Ours?
There are few other things that could be contributing to this.
Sometimes the results you’ll see are different based on geography and from what data center your ISP is getting its results from especially if you’re located outside of the United States (all of our look up servers are currently located in the U.S.)
Other times it might be that we looked up the results a few days ago and they’ve changed.
An easy thing to do is just press the “Update Stats” button in your control panel. Then see if this doesn’t fix the problem. 9 times out of 10 it will.
If your results are still not matching up, use the support contact form and let us know about it.
It’s something we can take a look and get fixed for you.
