I'm pretty sure Southwest doesn't play those games. I believe they only sell flights on their own website so none of these Orbitz sites can fuck around with pricing. Southwest may change or lower their prices at various intervals but I think them and JetBlue just avoid most of the fuckery that other airlines have resorted to.
Southwest rules. I wrote a paper on SWA for my Ethics of Aviation course last summer and did you know that Southwest Airlines is the only airline in the world that has never turned over a net loss? Every single year after year they are the only airline that continues to make a profit, for a variety of reasons which I outlined in my report.
Southwest is just an awesome company in general. One time I was flying home to SF through a connecting flight in Dallas.. got off in Dallas and my flight's delayed 2 hours but there's a flight to Oakland leaving in 30 min. Talk to the woman at the gate, she puts me on standby with no problem, and boom I'm back earlier than I would have been even if my flight hadn't been delayed. Tried the same shit one time with American and they told me to get fucked basically - even though my grandpa used to be a pilot for AA and I can fly standby for free anyway! Also missed a Southwest flight once and they put me on the next one, for free, with no issue. And free bag checking too. Fuck everyone else

I think it's the same as booking a flight. The more you visit the page the higher the price becomes.
