For example, the first time it would be 1 pt second time it would be .5 point then .25 etc. etc. starting again every other week. Actually thinking about it, make it only decrease every 2 times that IP comes except for the first time. (first visit 1 pt, 2nd and 3rd .5 point etc.)

If the user has the cookie, they dont count as anything. (except when visiting another site)
But the problem even with that is they could delete the cookie.
Or for the unique IP requirements, people could just use a proxy server to get another IP address, there really is almost no way to have it work by clicks alone, that is why a portion of the rank should be determined by voters, that are other websites, that have signed up for an account with you.
