Thanks, I will definitely implement the multiplier as you suggested. I like this better than showing as a % of total.

I'm storing the total hits so I will do the calculations on the client-side, which means I just might be able to add some toggles for the normalization schemes ;)

Thinking a little bit more about this, there are of course lots of submissions that don't get voted up or commented on - spam, off-topic, not interesting etc. Maybe you should only use posts that have either at least one upvote or comment, just to filter out the crap.
