I'm not an expert in this, but I suspect that some search engines will
probably ignore URL's that look like this:

/path/to/dynamic.php?arg=1&foo=bar

because it sees the ? and knows that it's a dynamic result and perhaps
very likely to change.

I had always assumed that's why many sites (such as amazon) use urls
like this instead:

/path/to/dynamic.php/arg/1/foo/bar

which don't have the ? so perhaps the engine does cache it?

just my 2 cents.
