I'm no SEO expert, but I've done my fair share of SEO writing over the past few years. As a writer, I'm more concerned with the readability of a site than some of the other technical aspects.For some of my clients, I work directly in Wordpress. Specifically with the Yoast plugin. One of Yoast's main gauges of readability is transitions words.
On their website, Yoast offers a sample list to help writers. However, their list is very limited.
Recently, I've been working with a client to fill out and optimize their new site. I've spent many hours sifting through other people's writing, adding transition words as I go to meet Yoast's criteria for readability.
After many pages of this site, I quickly got tired of using the same transition words over and over. A simple search brought me to this post on Bloggerspedia. This is an excellent and extensive list of transition words and phrases. If you do any SEO writing, I highly recommend this list for keeping variety in your writing while also hitting Yoast goals for transition words.
