    Is this an SE friendly url? Anyone have experience getting it to become one? Mod_rewrite or otherwise...

    Personally I've never had SEO problems with URLs like that so long as each page has an incoming link. However The following mod_rewrite rule would allow you to make the url something like:

    mysite.com/detail889107.html

    And have it call something like:

    mysite.com/detail.cgi?id=889107

    RewriteRule ^detail([0-9]+)-([^\.])+.html$ detail.cgi?id=$1 [L]
    Code (markup):
    Here is some suggested reading as well as a tool to help you along after the suggested reading.

    I agree, it's not that bad.... My cgi pages always do pretty well and that string isn't too long.... Nothing to worry about there IMO

    On some sites I tend to think of them as "human friendly URLs" rather than "search engine friendly urls". :)
