I'm wondering if Google has any preference for pagination?
Does it have problems with:
/photos/event?page=2
/photos/event?page=3
or are we better off with:
/photos/event/page/2
/photos/event/page/3

Is your *NEWEST* page of content on Page 1 or on Page "n"?
.
As for URL format, both can be equally indexed.
Single parameters on URLs are not an issue.
However, if you went the rewrite way, I would use:
photos/event/1/
instead, and also would make sure that the bare URL like /photos/event/ was not a Duplicate of page zero, or of page one.
was not a Duplicate of page zero, or of page one.
Man, I wish you would stop using my nic like that. Its like you called me to this topic g1smd. :)

/photos/event/page/2
/photos/event/page/3 I like the above. No trailing forward slash. Extensionless.
I'd look at trimming a level if you can...
/photos/event/2
/photos/event/3 The shorter, the better!

It would all be the same event. Won't give real examples because that'd break the TOS, but let's say I was covering a large event ... and we had 500 photos of people.
We list, say, 50 people on a page to keep under the 100 link limit. So it's not a question of which page is newer, they're all from the same day.
