Server Side Includes
What are Server Side Includes? How can you increase your rankings through SSI?
Server Side Includes (SSI) is a popular server-side scripting language, used to incorporate the content of one file inside of another file. It is utilized mainly with online content and it could make a static HTML site far more dynamic. If you'd like to have a daily quote shown on a variety of web pages within your site, for example, you can make a text file and switch the quote inside it daily. All the web pages in which this file is included are going to show the updated quote, so you'll not have to change them by hand each time. SSI could also be used to include the output of simple functions rather than a static file - for instance, the viewer's IP address, a hit counter or maybe the current time and date. In this way, you can make your site look more professional and much more appealing to the visitors. Web pages that implement SSI get a .shtml extension.
