That's probably what they did, and it's the wrong way. Because the number of times sites are visited says nothing about the importance of it. For example, I probably visit hundreds of sites between every time I visit my bank, but the bank site is by far the most important one.. and it requires java applet support as part of its authentication sequence. So I can't use my N800 for this for me extremely important task.
