    Hello Dp,

    I know that this is the first day , for SEO What is the best criteria to choose your keywords?


    O just search first for the right keywords before starting building my SEO website. For that you can use tools like one from google: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

    Once you have found your keywords,what happend if I want to have another language what to do to find the right keyword for this another language, just translating?

    It's a ratio of traffic vs competition.

    How many searches for the given keyword(s).

    It really depends on what you hope to accomplish. If you want your site to appear in more searches then go for high volume keywords, but if you want and easier time getting to page 1 then go for multi-word searches known as "long tail keywords" that tend to be low volume and low competition. There is no wrong answers, just different means to different ends. Targeting high volume searches is more of a long term strategy, whereas long tail tends to produce smaller results faster.

    I personally think the best thing you can do is to go to google and behave like the searchers you hope to reach. Try to solve the challenges they would naturally have in your keyword space. For example, I had a client who insisted "online shopping" was a good keyword to target for a retail sales website. But when has anyone typed "online shopping" when they are looking to buy something. Half the results for that keyword are merchant services not consumers... If the retail website sells denim jeans then "shop jeans" has much lower search volume but targets people more likely to convert on the website. Become the customer and figure out what they will type and what they will click. The text from the results that you are most likely to trust and click should guide how you set your HTML title and META description. Getting into the mindset of the customer is key to marketing success.

    No such thing as the "right keyword". Any keyword your potential customers search for are the right keywords.

    Low competition and high volume of searches(exact search). The level of competition may vary on your backlinking skills.

    Decide your keyword then translate it through google translator and then again get keywords of different language by pasting that translated term in google adwords keyword suggestion tool.

    You can see the same in the attached file.
