Ok, here's my input......
I have a site with over 3,100+ pages now (All .Php Variable Urls). 65% of all my pages are showing in google as indexed (With the exception of the ones I have hidden & added nofollow to).
The majority of all my pages are content rich, have good keyword density, & additional onpage optimizing techniques (On each individual page).
Understanding that it is a bit harder for a engine spider to translate dynamically created Url's, I added a categorical Footer navigation that has direct links to the categories them self (This is to keep my site within the 2 clicks from the home page to get to any other page theory).
In conclusion: With good navigation, 2 page theory, unique content, keyword density, & additional individual on-page optimizing techniques, I can honestly say my site proves the whole Non-Indexing dynamic .Php Variable Url's to be a Myth. As long as you optimize your site & each page individually with good navigation, EVERY page will index.
I'm not saying don't make your url's more SEF & Consumer friendly (Do it if you can), Just that you will still get indexed keeping the above in mind if you don't.
Hope this helps the debate - Good luck.
