Popular Cakes of the Day

A few weeks ago I introduced a new page on Pink Cake Box that allows fans to see the most popular cakes of the day.

The cakes are chosen based on the number of views for that day combined with the age of the cake. In other words, newer cakes are given a bit more weight to account for the fact they don’t have as many external links:

It’s interesting to see which cakes are consistently popular. This 13 year old topsy turvy cake is consistently in the top ten. Similarly this sweet 16 cake is also usually in the top ten.

As a next step, I think it would be interesting to create a rating system to allow people to rate cakes. That could then be another factor used to determine the most popular cakes of the day.
