Does having one file with different query strings count as one page?

And would a link on all "pages" count as multiple links?

[HughMungus]

I have one website that's basically one file and all other "pages" are nothing more than dynamic pages populated by what's in the query string via the database or server-side includes (e.g., index.php?a=12345 or in the case of includes, index.php?c=FAQ0).

First, does this count as a "one page website" according to the search engines?

Second, either way, what would be the value of a link compared to a website that has subdirectories and different filenames (or appearing to have different filenames with mod_rewrite).

No. Each dynamic iteration that is referenced by a link will be looked at as a separate page.

Not quite sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

index.php?c=FAQ0 and index.php?C=FAQ0 will even count as separate pages

url.c and url.C different pages same content, at least to Google.
