Rails - Apr 2006 - Tracking page hits

Hello all,

I am developing an online store and would like to keep track of how many 
times each product was viewed. While I can keep track of page hits using 
something like webalizer, this won''t really work (I don''t
think) as the
pages are not going to be static. Has anyone else implemented this and 
if so could you please point me in the right direction. A potential 
solution that I have come up with is to keep a running tally in a table 
in the db. I appreciate any input that you all can give.

Sincerely,

Robert Dempsey

Do your urls look static?  For example http://localhost/product/123.  If so any
stats package will have no problem.  You can look into third party services like
Mint or Google Analytics.

Scott,

Yes they will look as you have shown. I will put webalizer on there and 
see what I get. Thanks for the help.
