<p>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.</p>
<p>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/</p>

Popular Widget

The plugin still works as expected but the support doesn't seem to be very responsive: Last reply on the Wordpress forum over 1 year ago, on the recommended official forum over 2 months ago.
More activity would be great since there are not many comparable alternatives.



Nice plugin, and some support would be great

Display the most commented or most viewed posts in a tabbed widget, filter the post by date range or by category. It also includes a tags tab.
