Data retreiving

I have found several sites that have used ebay's editor kit to generate custom auctions on their websites. This is all intersting, but they have somehow made these auction listings be in only html format, while the code given by ebay is Javascript. I was wondering if they simply created a new file somehow with the Javascript, copied the pages attributes, and then pasted them into a page or what. This is hard to explain, so here are two examples:

http://top-searches-auctions.online-auc ... didas.html
http://www.emailmyauctions.com/index.php

It's obvious they are only doing this so that search engine spiders will be able to read those words. I would like to know how to do this, not necessarily with ebay, but for other purposes.

Thanks

Is this not really making sense? I will clairify the best I can if you will ask me.

It appears that the first URL that I provided uses something called "minifetch" (checked the source code). I checked out "minifetch." It cost $9, but I figured that the difficultly of such a problem would not be that bad, so to save a few bucks does anyone know how this works?

Maybe I am just going to have to battle this one on my own since it's somewhat difficult to explain my meaning.
