Like Sam said if you could add something simple like returning json by appending .json to the end that would be great. Also looking at the source I can see Campaign IDs, do you either have an API for ID->slug or a different url format which accepts the ID eg http://www.fixmytransport.com/campaign.php?id=146 as then the ID could be used in the short url?
