If you are looking for a sampling method, you could have a look at the
one in the "Unified Web Evaluation Methodology":
<http://www.wabcluster.org/uwem1_2/>;
See chapter 4, "Scope and sampling of resources" in the "Core" document.

Since you seem to know where all the pages of your website are, it
should be possible to create a fully random sample, as described in
section 4.3.2. (Section 4.3.1 describes a sampling method that can
be applied "manually".)
I'd be very interested to hear how this works for you.
