Does Viewstate Affect Search Ranking?

Some say it might, some say it shouldn’t. I just want to see if it has any measurable affect. If Google follows this link, I should find out in a week or so.

I’ve never put up a set of pages to test a search engine like this before. I started with a word that Google returns no results for. I have an index page that links to several pages that use this word; all are identical except for the viewstate. I have a couple copies of each page in random order in case the order of the links makes a difference. The only page on the Internet that links to the different pages is that index page.
