Why many sites start their articles with the useless "What is X?" question?

There's one thing that annoys me whenever I look for information online. It's when the article start with a "What is X?" question, even though it's not really needed.

Like, an article on diagnosing PC power supply starts with "What is Power Supply?". If I didn't know what power supply is, I wouldn't even have looked for posts on how to diagnosis it. They are quite many articles like these. This seems like a useless keyword stuffing or a way to make the article larger. As a reader, I tend to get annoyed & bounce off the site, since I wouldn't want to waste my time on something that seems so low-quality (even if the article is excellent). In my own sites, I don't add such questions unless the content introduce the reader to a new thing.

So, what do you think of that? Am I the only person who think that way? Or is there something I am missing?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
