More related to the central topic of redis as a store for this, I think it really depends on the read per write ratio. Gathering stats like this would be very useful, and its very easy to write a SQL adapter for haste-server, since its just a set/get and optional expire

In theory in a pastebin-alike site you can have a lot of writes for the analytics. think about a pastebin page appearing on HN or other very busy site, if you want to do real time stats Redis will handle the load without issues.
