Comment posted to Static HTML vs Dynamic URLs by Selectsplat.
Excellent comments. I had not thought about the ‘index.php’ being a wasted word.
Also, Drupal has an excellent mod-rewrite module in it that I find very appealing.
I have some articles I’ve written on this subject, including, google hates dynamic URLs http://www.seoproinfo.com/google-hates-dynamic-urls.html, the History of Session IDs and SIDs are Spider Killers http://www.seoproinfo.com/sids-are-spider-killers.html that you may find interesting.
