This always puzzle me about SEO. Let's say you are writing an article that you want to cover in-depth. Which one is better for SEO (both options has the same content): A. Publish all in one long article B. Publish in a series of small articles

C. Publish in a series of small articles and give up after the second one, leaving it incomplete forever

A in my experience.

The goal is to answer the question or problem as best as you can.

Typically this means not just giving a one line answer, but expanding and elaborating, going into relevant details and explaining more in-depth.

Often this extra detail will overlap with extra detail from other questions. You can link between articles, but you can also rephrase / repeat ideas.

eg. If you're searching for "Redirect in javascript" or "Simulate link in Javascript", you'll want two separate articles.

You know that the answer is the same for both, but the searcher doesn't. And as you go more in-depth explaining how `window.location` works, you'll end up covering similar material in both articles (which is not duplicate content so Google won't penalize you).

A. Google prefers long article, around a couple thousands words.

If your article are getting really long, like above 5000 words, consider splitting in two.
