Noob Here. Multiple pieces of content vs one long piece and long tail vs short tail keywords.

I am going try making a content site based around cartooning. I have been doing some basic keyword searches using google keyword planner and using google search suggestions. I see that "how to draw a cartoon dog" gets a range of 1k - 10k monthy searches. The google search suggestion adds the words "easy" and one that says "easy step by step". When I put those into keyword planner the monthly searches are "how to draw a cartoon dog easy" (10 - 100) and "how to draw a cartoon dog easy step by step" (1 - 10). I'm not sure if I should bother trying to target those long tails. Maybe I should since the short tail is included? Not sure how this works.

I'm also wondering if I should do multiple short pieces of content or long pieces. I could make a video and blog post that would cover making a cartoon dog in multiple styles (basic, different eyes, different poses, puppy/chibi vs adult, different breeds, etc). The other option is to cover all those over multiple pieces of content. Splitting it up would be helpful when trying to be consistent with posting content. Is one better than the other? How often does content need to be posted? I was thinking 2 times a week but maybe that's not enough?

My strategy is to find the most searched keywords related to cartooning, make custom content for those keywords with a youtube video, a blog post with the video embedded in it, and make social accounts that announce the new content (facebook, insta, twitter, any others?)

I understand this is a long game thing so I was hoping to dedicate a year to this and see where it ends up. I was hoping that once there is traffic I could use adsense and affiliate marketing for stuff like art supplies, art books, etc.

Looking for any advice or if this even sounds like a decent plan. Major noob here.

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 ...
