popularity

I have some pages on a website and I have to create an ordering based on "popularity"/"activity"

The parameters that I have to use are:

views to the page
comments made on the page (there is a form at the bottom where uses can make comments)
clicks made to the "like it" icon

Are there any standards for what a formula for popularity would be? (if not opinions are good too)

(initially I thought of views + 10*comments + 10*likeit)
