Server Side Includes
What precisely are Server Side Includes? How can you improve your rankings via SSI?
Server Side Includes (SSI) is a widely used server-side scripting language, which can be used to add the content of one file inside a second file. It is employed typically with online content and it can help to make a static HTML website a lot more dynamic. If you want to have a daily quote shown on multiple web pages on your website, for example, you can make a text file and replace the quote inside it every single day. All the webpages in which this file is integrated are going to show the modified quote, so you'll not have to update them by hand every single time. SSI may also be used to incorporate the output of simple functions instead of a static file - for example, the visitor's IP address, a hit counter or even the current time and date. By doing this, you can make your site seem far more professional and more attractive to the visitors. Pages that employ SSI use a .shtml extension.
