\w in regexp means „word“ character and such url part as „my-prety-page“ will NOT match. To hide GET params you must improve your urlManager rules. You can write such a rule for pages using SEF urls:

'///*' => '/view'

In this case when you enter url

http://example.com/page/12/my-prety-title

a Page controller will be called to perform view action with id and title as arguments. It is the same if you enter this url:

http://example.com/page/view?id=12&title=my-prety-title

The last part /* in rule allows to keep additional params. E.g. if your address is

http://example.com/user/55/john-doe-junior/foo/bar/

in UserController's actionView you can write

echo '
' ;
print_r($_GET);
echo '
' ;
die();

and you'll see

Array
(
    [id] => 55
    [title] => john-doe-junior
    [foo] => bar
)
