Well that's true, all systems get abused eventually. Cops, judges, juries, and there are link farms. But thats democracy. And you can't just assume fraud happening. You might offend someone who is completely honest...
I'm not saying to only count the page views divided by number of days running. I'm saying just take that into consideration as part of the total score.

The hints will be completely time-independent, other than month of publication. That is, the judges won't necessarily know if a hint has been published on the 1st or the 31st, nor will they know how many views it received.

They can see all of this, of course, by looking at the story date and view figures when they click the links, but neither views nor day of publication are being used in the evaluation phase.
