English Language & Usage Asked on October 8, 2020
I recently integrated Yoast SEO for my blog https://yogixi.com and immediately started getting a lot of these errors Transition words: Only 23.1% of the sentences contain transition words, which is not enough. Use more of them.
Now the issue is how much I try I am failing to reduce it to the accepted percentage.
For example this paragraph.
We can access a remote Linux machine using an SSH Client, for example, Putty. We do our work and close the session by closing Putty, but sometimes our SSH client (whether it is Putty or other) closes due to unwanted reasons or maybe we want to keep the session running but also want to pack the laptop to leave from office.
Almost, the entire paragraph is highlighted in red, prompting me to correct it. I have already gone through this thread Transition words but still didn’t get, how to fix sentences that are missing these.
What am I missing?
As the comments suggest, there is in fact nothing wrong with your writing (well, nothing major ;) we can always pick nits).
The tool you are using appears intended to create a particular style of writing suited to attracting attention via search engines, and in fact this will spoil your writing. @Shoe's observation is quite correct: you're not (we hope) writing a puff piece to market something.
tl;dr uninstall the tool.
