List of placenames in New Zealand for SEO
Sometimes during my work as an online marketer I need a list of NZ placenames. Usually this is so I can scan the clients analytics account to see how much activity there is - or how much traffic they are receiving - around search traffic that contains a placename. Trouble is it is quite tricky as there can be many placenames, and it requires a strong regular expression to search the account.
