SEO friendly URL's no apache/htaccess (needs php)

[Preacher]

I'm struggling whether or not to do this on a project I'm building. Here's my issue

http://www.mongo.com/blog2/showpage....rld&page-no=22

Search engines hate the ? and & bits called a query string. Your new url would be simply:

http://www.mongo.com/index1.php/show...-world/page/22

Seriously, is he implying Google can't read a couple gets from a query string?

I'm not talking about some crazy long amazon-type link, but seriously a couple variables in the query string can easily be indexed by Google. So what's the point of the extra code if I'm not expecting typins to those specific pages?
