The first feature SEO'ers would probably use is the URL aliases module. It uses mod-rewrite to make SEo friendly URLS. Here's what drupal has to say.

Drupal provides users complete control over URLs
through aliasing. This feature is typically used to make URLs
human-readable or easy to remember. For example, one could map the
relative URL 'node/1' onto 'about'. Each system path can have multiple
aliases. [more help...]

Aside from the URL rewriting, you can also use the very powerful taxonony to properly categorise your website and provide easy to follow link-paths through your site according to keywords.
