Define what you mean by “popular” and you might be able to make a start :-)

  • Most viewed?
  • Most recently viewed?
  • Most searched?
  • Articles with highest number of inbound links to them?

In most cases, also consider how you would distinguish between articles viewed by humans and those ‘viewed’ by search engine bots (and if it matters).

In which case, are any of the previous popular articles plugins and ideas of any use to you?
