everything after the ? is a query string, normally for a server-side parsed variable: used by asp / jsp / php / cfm / etc.

To put it another way...

the bit that comes after the "?" passes information to a script on the receiving page.
It might, for example pass the id of a record in a "products" database so the page displays info about a specific product.
