People think that the first type of URL won't be indexed by search
engines.

Which is wrong, of course. But URLs like the second one are much more
userfriendly, they are easier to read and to remember.

My point exactly All these SEO companies charge people a fortune
to make this "optimizations" that don't really optimize things
anyway. And nobody can really remember such URL's off the top of
their heads -- they just bookmark them. Last time I checked,
bookmarks don't care what the URL looks like.
