I have made a simple Intranet software for my employer. They need to add a new feature as "Frequently used Pages/sites". My Intranet does not work per user and all users can see the same pages. For example, as in some Intranet softwares, users do not have their own calendar, tasks, shared project lists, etc. I use ASP and Javascript for my codes. How can I add "Frequently used Pages/sites" button or link or section to the Intranet? Any help would be appreciated.

I can think of two ways: 1) have a hard-coded list, based upon a survey of users. This is simple but not dynamic.
2) Use a Web Traffic app which stores number of hits by page in an accessible database. Then, you can write your ASP to query the database for, say, the top 20-accessed pages. You can hard code which pages to omit - the main page, or the search page, or whatever makes sense to your site. Depending on your tracking software, you can have a list of pages to ignore which would then remove the requirement for adding this to your ASP query.
Let me know if you need code examples for this - it would obviously depend on your Web Traffic tracking tool.
I haven't used it and cannot reccomend it, but if you don't have a tracking tool and you're on a budget you might want to look at WebLog: http://awsd.com/scripts/weblog/
