No. SSI's are processed server side before the page is finally displayed to
the user (or the engine), so there's no downsides in doing so. Now, with
that flat statement outta the way, you *will* start to run into
difficulties if you start using query strings, like:
http://www.myserver.com/index.shtml?user=morbus
Some search engines will ignore any URL with ? in the title, since that
represents dynamic content that (could possibly) always change.
You can read an article by yours truly that demonstrates
a crafty way of getting around the ? problem here:
