URL parameters can potentially cause a lot of problems when it comes to your SEO. For example, they can create duplicate content, waste crawl budget, and dilute ranking signals.
While parameters are loved by developers and analytics aficionados, they are often an SEO nightmare. Endless combinations of parameters can create thousands of URL variations out of the same content.
The problem is we can’t simply wish parameters away. They play an important role in a website’s user experience. So we need to understand how to handle them in an SEO-friendly way.
How much affects if you wrote just one index PHP or CGI and use variables in the URL compared if you use directories ? Of course if the keyword is same in the /?v=keyword and the /keyword ? My experience have been compare results in Google SERP for some keywords I did in both forms and got better result for variable instead directory or html file name.
While they do give weight to the authority of the overall domain itself, keyword use in a URL can also act as a ranking factor. While using a URL that includes keywords can improve your site's search visibility, URLs themselves generally do not have a major impact on a page's ability to rank.
Friendly URLs are intended to be more readable for google, so a url like this: pagina.com/whats-is-seo is better than one like mypage.com/article/php?index-1/focus/archive/ whats-is-seo-
SEO friendly website is a perfect alternative to get more traffic. These sites are fully accessible. Moreover, it focuses on fulfilling the user preferences. But many of the web designers fail to understand the importance of SEO friendly websites. The possible reason for the same is the unawareness of fruitful practice. Many do not know how to make your website SEO friendly. These probable reasons serve as a restriction that enforces web developers to ignore search engines.

I can't understand your question, but you mean if it affects to have a page with URL like this: pagina.com/var?=keywords?
It really depends a lot on how you have structured your website, but for example many shopping cart pages work that way.
