It occurred to me today that it would be nice to see which articles have been most popular, and which (if any) not - even if only from an admin point of view....any way of doing this? Just a thought :)

Hi Thomas.

Although we don't have this functionality built into Article Manager, there's a similar discussion over in the Realty Manager forum - there are some solutions that may work for you. Check it out:

hiya Thomas ..
does this sound good:

A flexible counter script that reports a count in text based on an SSI call. Only one script is needed to handle all your counters, and the script can report overall, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly counts. The script outputs values as regular integers, or optionally binary, hexadecimal, or Roman numerals.

in each page: you get a counter per page and the totals.
i am using this in 2 sites and its cool .. i just wish there was a way to pull reports baes on the counts .. oh well .. nothing is perfect.

Anyhow .. i give you MultiCount:

Enjoy.

I use AXS from Fluid Dynamics - it's free and powerful enough to graph all your results meaningfully for you. Just install the CGI script, insert a simple tag into all your AM templates, then Publish All.

You can get it from http://www.xav.com/scripts/axs/

If you wanted to be really clever, you could modify your template files so that external links went through AXS too, and then you'd be able to monitor the relative popularity of those as well.

The only problem is that, since AXS is SSI-based, you can't monitor dynamically-generated pages (like results from the AM search engine, or a message board if you have one).
