Google Webmaster Tools and SEO

    First of all - the webmaster tools seem exceptionally slow for google - is it just me, or does anyone else get this?

    This might belong in the google section, but I figured this was fairly SEO related. I was wondering about the Top Search Query stats. Here's my site:

    http://news-hut.blogspot.com/

    Now it says these are my search queries - the site is new, so I didn't except any:

    1 50% google slow malaysia 4
    2 50% guitar hero mobile 7

    When I click on the query link, it takes me to the search, but I don't see my site anywhere (nor would I expect to with those words). I imagine I'm just not understanding the way this works, or, my SEO is all jacked up.

    Thanks,

    Marc

    it may be that those users who are searching those terms are looking it up in a localized results (so instead of google.my maybe they're searching at google.com, vice versa). Also notice the number next to what they're searching which shows what rank you're in for that term - in some cases it'll say 993 which means you're 993th on the SERPS - that's probably pg10+).

    That's the weird thing. The positions numbers are 4 and 7. It's not my position in the search, so clearly that's not what it means; or maybe it was my position for a very short period of time?

    Also, what's with the percentage (50 in my case) to the left of the search string?
