I could certainly be wrong about the .php and .API. I tested .api a long while back and that's when I made the switch. It may not still apply.
On numbers, I had t noticed a difference either, but Matt Cutts said in this interview:
performancing.com/node/397
I wouldnt bother with year/month/day in blog urls; I would just use the first few words from the title of the post in the url
Now, taking SEO advice from Matt may be retarded, but I figure it couldn t hurt to follow that guideline.
We did testing in november '05 on the question marks in URLs and the pages were not indexed as quickly. That indicated to us that the pages were (slightly) less trusted.
Thats certainly not to say you cant rank a page with the variables in the URLs, it probably means very little in the SERPs.
But my feeling is, why not take them out if you can with a simple mod rewrite?
All in all, though, youre better off just getting one more link than worrying too much about the URL structure.
