Popular This Week is a plugin similar to Popularity Contest, but only records hits that happened in the last week. It then shows the most popular posts or pages in the last week as widget you can use in your theme.
It’s useful for high volume, high traffic sites where posts age quite quickly, and you do not necessarily want to direct your users to old content, but what people are reading right now. An example of the widget being used is here: http://www.nouse.co.uk/

Very nice little widget. After looking through all the other tag cloud plugins this is the one I found most flexible.

It just needs a bit of styling on the way it displays on the backend. But it's not important. It does its job!

Thank you very much :D

Great customization!

Customisable widget and shortcode to display tag cloud with option to show tag count anywhere you want.
