As Jim has already pointed out, SiteMorse have no proper measuring
method in place, and as you've found out, they just get aggressive
when asked detail quesions.

In fact, it turns out that the directors of SiteMorse aka
Business2www.com (lawrence shaw and jon ribbens) have been previously
indicted for fraud, by the SEC in the USA, see:

And more strangely, although their web site claims Trade marks on
various of their brand names, (sitemorse, keymorse etc) none are
listed at the UK patent office, check for yourself at:
   http://webdb4.patent.gov.uk/tm/text

So methinks better to steer clear.
