For you it may not be the best idea. However, a lot of people sort items
by popularity. A page view count directly gives the impression of
current page's popularity.
May be you look for less known things; but imagine a yellow-page website
and you searched for "camera." Would you like to visit a shop with
lowest views/responses or would you rather be cautious and visit the
more popular one?
Again, this is just one example. I am sure you can construct your own.
