Make sure you take advantage of parameter handling in Google Webmaster tools. True, it is better to have friendly URLs by the way of a URL Rewriter, but until you're ready to deploy that (there are probably higher priority issues), it's good to make sure that Google knows what your parameters are and has them marked properly.

See my picture from Google Webmaster Tools pasted below.

For example, you might tell it to ignore a parameter that carries a session or user related value (look at Amazon URLs for an example -- non-essential items can be ignored by the spider).
