The MLA style (http://www.mla.org/style) suggests that for  
unpaginated material, you state the paragraph number, counted from top.

Styles are a matter of academic discipline, and something often not  
under your control. I tend to prefer MLA as it not only has specified  
how to cite almost all kinds of communication, but also because it  
avoids the necessity for year-and-letter constructions (2004a), and  
you stay clear of obviously anachronic constructions like "_Rhetoric_  
(Aristotle, 1989)."
