This is great! Nice job. I was wondering, do you have any ideas on how I can force a page to completely load before it will update the Popularity? (Using Alex’s Popularity Contest). Right now, people want there page on top, so they’re refreshing hundreds of times without the page actually loading, which is putting a load on my server.

Non-techie Question: What are the benefits of making Popularity Contest “cache-compatible”?

(Incidentally, I just started using Popularity Contest on my TopNewFranchises.com site using only comments as criteria for voting. It’s working well.)

Great idea! :D The reason why I haven’t used Popularity contest is mainly because I use Wp-cache2 and because I know that certain posts are popular - they will get cached more and skew the results.
