    Hot topics this month feature

    I have to build a "Hot topics this month feature" that needs to be dynamic and appear on the homepage of a website.

    The only way that I can think of doing this dynamically is that every article page would write an entry to the database when a user lands on the article.

    Then I could query this table over the past 30 days and pick the top 'x' number.

    Don't get me wrong I could put some caching on this, but with more entries going into the database the longer this feature will take to load.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
