Tracking hits to categories - El Forum - 12-04-2008

[eluser]gullah[/eluser]
I want to have 'most popular' categories and the only way I can think of this is when a person visits any page in that category to do an update hits++. If I start to get a lot of traffic I can see this being a strain on the database. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on a good way to do this?
