Unless you are using an always-changing value for the value, then the
screen-scraper doesn't really give a damn whether the value is:

avpu8e9hgre98gh9erhb549hgt2395tybnsdibnusreiobnwre9pg8h25490t8
It's all the same to a computer.
If you ARE using always-changing URLs, then the search engines are
never gonna find your pages, which seems like an odd goal to me.
