Default Stats vs Google Analytics?

[BowsBowsBows]

Why does google analytics never match my statistics with 3dcart's house program?

Example, Last 7 days:
Google Analytics- 1220 pageviews, 136 visits, 69 absolute unique visitors
3DCart Default stats- 1884 visits, 224 unique visitors

Google analytics is always significantly lower. What gives?

Do you filter out your admin system in Google but not in house? That could be the difference. Also, are they on the same time zones?

I know in google they are filtered, and I think I did it right in the house. Either way, how could I be getting that many extra unique IP's to my admin?

I will check on time zones.

Thanks

Perhaps GA is better about filtering out search engine robots. One possibility.

I have mostly used GA, but have been looking at the house recently. The search engine and keyword phrases do not match either. Actually nothing matches. There is of course a lot overlap but the are never the same. No one else has this issue?

Do spiders and bots register as search engine hits?
