Interesting post at Webmasterworld.com forums — cites a Google blog post saying not to do rewrite dynamic URLs to optimize for searchbecause: "While static URLs might have a slight advantage in terms of clickthrough rates because users can easily read the urls, the decision to use database-driven websites does not imply a significant disadvantage in terms of indexing and ranking. Providing search engines with dynamic URLs should be favored over hiding parameters to make them look static." Discussion and debate follows.
