Corey,

Your idea is clever but I would think that the search engines would
consider this a way to circumvent their reasoning for popularity weight
in the first place. Thus, they will consider it "spam" and take measures
to look for your cgi or some other way to identify you and your members.
They may even consider banning all participants from their database.
Maybe I'm just paranoid but I would be afraid to take that chance.

Good luck
Mike
