    Recording page views / activity and displaying popular articles

    hey guys,

    What's the best way to go about recording how popular different articles are within the CMS? And then hopefully easily pulling out the most popular articles from the last 7 days, say? What approaches have people found works best within Umbraco?

    Thanks!

    James

    I can recommend Google Analytics too, easy setup and in my opinion, the best overview..

    As I know, google analytics (which I also like it) doesn't help when creating most popular articles.

    You can use SQL-for-XSLT http://our.umbraco.org/projects/sql-for-xslt-%28jespercom%29 and store views count, but it doesn't help most, because you this way you have not visit date.

    It looks like best way was create your own datatype to store visits (which then can be used in xslt) and then use SQL-for-XSLT or custom httphandler, which store each visit.

    I'm looking to do exactly this.  The link in Petr Snobelt's post is no longer working.  Can somebody steer me in the right direction?  Maybe a primer on SQL-for-XSLT?
