I don't see in what it would be hard to guess it. Bot admins should know
the difference between a website accessible from the Internet and a
website accessible from a local net: nothing.
More over, I don't think knowing the title of a page is that dangerous.
The only risk is if there is some kind of web application that allows to run 
actions based on GET parameters, which is a known _very bad_ design pattern, 
also known as. CSRF (which means something like Cross Site Request Forgering).
