 If you're using a content management system such as Joomla or any other database CMS you might have a problem with non search engine friendly URLs.
They cause two major problems. One being that fact that no one can remember the addresses for pages, e.g. "index.php?options=com_content?id=21?menu=1". You might be able to remember something like that but seriously, can you imagine trying to screen that across the office to a co-worker.
The other being that search engines have no idea what they mean and relevancy between the content and the URL is often rated next to none.
Search Engines and Search Engine Friendly URLs
There has been talk about non SEF URLs also being uncrawlable but from testing that we have done we have found that they do crawl them just fine.
What we have found is that the sites with SEF URLs are placed higher in the organic search results for their terms with non SEF URLs mixed below them in the results.
