A website called “Open Parachute” operates a “Site metre” which monitors website and blog traffic of the top 253 registered blogsites  in New Zealand each month.

I have compared and contrasted the site visits and page views of the www.grantnormanking.com website with the above list, and I have discovered that this site would rank in the top 35 sites listed – which is an astonishing outcome, given that this site has only been live for the past 3 months.

Given this result, it would appear that the Sunday Star Times article commentary a couple of weeks back has again been validated for this website:

For one Auckland blogger that’s exactly the point. He wants the world to know everything there is to know about a man who owes him money over a failed building project.

Google the man’s name and the first seven results lead you to the blog. In fact it’s named after him. Addresses, names, number plates, photos, past criminal convictions, names of criminals he’s involved with that have name suppression, current employers – it’s all there. The blogger, whom the Star-Times has decided not to name, said he could provide evidence for all of the claims he’s made, including ones involving Child Youth and Family. He said “truth and honest opinion are absolute defences” against defamation.

I did warn him………………..oh well.

A little tip: anonymous blogs + unconfirmed sources = zero credibility.

I must be setting some sort of record for being the recipient of so many  “attack sites” all authored under various guises by the same “anonymous” person!

I have posted some comments to the site as well, inviting the author to join us over here (yes, faint hope I know).

And if what is on the above site is the best defence that GNK & Swale can raise in a Civil Claim against them, then they really ARE in trouble, and the legal process is going to be much, much easier than I thought.
