Does Google crawl and list coded pages

Google seems to be ranking my sites extremely low or not at all

I am a programmer by nature so I make sites the function and do things that my clients want them to do but I recently have hit a brick wall and I can't seem to find the "right" answer I can find lots of answers but nothing that pertains strickly to my situtation.

My situation
I have all of the content for my site pulled from sql and my default page redirects to one of these sql content pages based on what url is entered for example www.example.com redirects to www.example.com/show.aspx?id=22 and shows content on that site about [snip] but www.example2.com redirects to www.example2.com/show.aspx?id=19 all of the content that is pulled is from sql and follows most search engine guidelines and I listed the pages over 6 months ago but for some reason when I go to google the only way I can pull them up is by searching for example2.com or example.com and when google does show the site it shows all the correct meta information but it if I search for anything other then the domain name it doesn't pull the site even when I am very very specific and use 3 or 4 of the keywords on my site.

My Question
from the sitituation above am I doing anything blatantly wrong that would cause my site to not be searchable by anything other then the domain name? Is it because I am generating the content on the site from sql instead of just using html?

Google has hinted and most webmasters agree that Google does not 'like' the distinction?id= as this is normally associated with session ID's which Google has trouble indexing.

Try using something else like?page= or?abcde=

It may be something else, sticky me your URL and I'll have a look if you like?

the search term you're looking for is "search engine friendly url"
