Hrrrmm. Just because a website is database-driven, it does not follow that there is no human involvement. We operate a "digital newspaper" which takes *much* involvement, believe me. It would just be plain impossible to operate it without a couple of databases under the hood.


On the other hand, it is possible to simply generate absolutely senseless, worthless STATIC HTML pages out of a database - just look at all those link farms. No SE is able to see any difference, just from a look at the files.

The only quuestion is whether it affects your page in the SERPs. I have no evidence of that. I have never seen a robot not spidering or lesser spidering my pages because of mod_rewrite. And I have never seen a drop in the SERPs. Most of the re-designs I do incorporate mod_rewrite, and in literally ALL cases the websites ranked better afterwards.

Since rewriting is one of the basic mechanisms for webmasters and very widely used, I do not think that SEs are bothered by that.
