It took me a while to code this into the portal but its now done. I’ve implemented a click-based ranking system for products in the ultra mobile PC product portal.
The ranking is based on a rolling 7-day pageview calculation and is a relative indication of what’s hot (over all product categories) on the product page. After I’ve built up some stats history, I might start to include some historical graphs and ‘top ten’ pages. It will be fun to see how interest in devices changes.
The product page now defaults into ‘popular first’ order for each category although I’m thinking of dropping the category to make sorting and searching easier. Any suggestions?
What’s hot at the moment?

Update: No you can’t affect the ratings by clicking like mad on your favorite UMPC! The secret Carrypad honesty serum has been applied to the algorithm.
