That would likely fix some of it, but I suspect that you'd still get a lot, anyway, because people program their crawlers to hit everything, regardless of their relevance. Doesn't cost anything more, so why not? Every little hit adds to the coffers.

Especially when you consider the actual payout rate for such approaches, which cannot possibly be very high - every little hit does not add to the coffers, which means you have to be more selective about what you try.
