The two are unevenly off. The issue seems to be that NovelRank can capture only one sale an hour, regardless if there were one or a hundred. The only time NovelRank's numbers come close to accurate if the book's sales are low.

NovelRank is Useless
Yeah, I know, not exactly a revelation. We all know it's numbers tend to be off, but at one point I thought maybe they were consistently off, and could be used to predict actual numbers. Out of curiosity I tracked one of my books for eight months and made a chart. The blue are is NovelRank's numbers, the pink is the actual sales.
