As my quest in becoming rich over internet ads and running a family based on this income, I have decided that I should do an article post site. A system that will hold many many many articles in a database and show them with php. Now, would this kind of dynamic page (as in www.**.com/article.php?aid=232434) show up in google and would adsense find the keywords in it?. The data will be pulled straight out from the database.

yes, generally, although the following points may be useful to you:
- I never anything like use 'id' as the parameter name - google has clearly stated they don't like 'id. aid might be alright, but why risk it?
- use htaccess (assuming a unix based host) to make the url prettier, ie www.**.com/article.php?aid=232434 => www.**.com/article/232434/
- better yet, use the title to create the path, which will zing your url full of keywords, eg www.**.com/article.php?aid=232434 => www.**.com/article/all-you-need-to-know-about-widgets/

you know, you could do this just using wordpress, and its all built in :) they call the title the 'slug'

Even better, using a rewrite you can make it look like a totally vanilla url:

www.example.com/article.123456.html

or with keywords:

www.example.com/article.new-widgets-available.html

This is what I do with my dymanic sites.
