    Ok,

    So if I have a URL like this:

    http://domain.com/page?variable=value

    Would Google be able to read the stuff after the variable as a keyword for Search engine Friendly URLs like so:

    http://domain.com/page?keyword=value

    Thanks

    Hi Jordan,
    Google would be indexing such pages and keywords as variable in the urls but would not index if they include session id's.
    I would suggest you to use mod_rewrite rule, This way all urls would look somewhat static and indexable, and still you can run php and have everything dynamic in your website.
