February ’15 – NZ blogs sitemeter ranking
Another good month for Talking Auckland with the blog breaking into the Top 30.
My main goal is to get both visitors and Page Views sustained over 10,000 for each month by the end of 2015.
And with that I give my thanks to readers and commenters alike with without you Talking Auckland would not be possible.
This month sees the Long Term Plan feedback rounds close on March 16 with the Council then to deliberate before the final thus operative Budget commences in July.
This month also marks March Madness with the Universities back and the transport systems to get their full work out. Today while the rail system coped State Highway 16 certainly didn’t.
Expect more transport related commentary as we work our way through March Madness.
The Unitary Plan debate heats up again with the Panel releasing Interim Recommendations around the Rural Urban Boundary that marks the line between Urban and Rural Auckland.
Also with the Unitary Plan I have my first two notifications on my submission I gave to the UP. While my hearings are not until later this year I will be gathering the evidence I need to support my claims and ideas to my submission.
All in all this is month three of what will be a busy but interesting 2015

This is particularly helpful to those wondering how to set up sitemeters.
Please note, the system is automatic and relies on blogs having sitemeters which allow public access to the stats.
Here are the rankings of New Zealand blogs with publicly available statistics for February 2015. Ranking is by visit numbers. I have listed the blogs in the table below, together with…
