If your site is hosted on a server with cPanel (most hosters provide cPanel) there is a menu voice called Awstats.

Awstats auto reads your Apache access logs and convert them into easy to read statistics, and you don't even need to waste your time creatin a Google Analytics account and then adding the GA code to your site's pages.

If you have control on server, Awstats can be installed also by you without cPanel. But obvioulsy if you need to install it, it might be shorter to use Google Analytics.

If you're using wordpress then there is the 'Google Analytics Popular Posts', which pretty much does what it says on the tin. 'SubZane Google Analytics Plugin' does the same thing, there is also a decent tutorial if you'd like to get your hands dirty.

Afraid I can't help with ROR, but this functionality should be available in one or more of the popular Ruby CMS frameworks.

You could just use Google Analytics to log the data, then pull the data out of the reporting api; this would save you a lot of hassle as most of the logging and data processing will be done for you by Google.
