Determine the view count like in youtube using Asp.net MVC

Do anyone knows how to do the View count for a specific page.

Like in youtube, when you click a video, the number of view count will increment. But if you already viewed the video before it will not increment.

I would like to know how to do this in asp.net mvc. I already have an idea but im not sure if right.

You would probably need to store the total view count in a db and as serbrech said use a cookie to determine if the user has been to the page before and if not increment the view count.

I would simply store a permanent cookie on the user... Though, that would be reset when the user deletes it.
