Different or Same Keywords for Second Site
-
Hello,
We're flushing out a second site for a client that's a second site in the same niche. How do I know when to use the same keywords for both sites and when to use entirely different keywords. One site is fairly strong, and the other will be less strong, though we're going to strengthen it quickly.

My client really wants to build out a second site. It's to get them both to rank, one for spot one and one lower for most keywords. But we really need to know when to target the same keywords and when to target different keywords. It's ecommerce

It depends on your business plan. Why are you building a second site? Is it for insurance in case the first site gets taken out due to penalty? I would think that focusing on #RCS and using best practices would make sure that would not happen. Are you trying to dominate the SERPS so that you can rank #2 and #3 and #N for a given key word? Maintaining another site is a lot of work. Seems simpler to build up a YouTube Channel to rank or some other social profile. Are you wanting to rank for a second set of key words? Seems simpler just to build up an additional section of content on your current site.
Just sounds like you are doing a lot of work on a second website in the same competitive niche, where it may make more sense to just focus on the site you have, make sure it is super wicked awesome and just continue to focus on that.

The best way to do keyword research in different languages
Could anyone give me a little advice about the best way to do keyword research in different languages? French and Spanish specifically (unsurprisingly). Are there any tools or systems available that will give local language keyword variants on English keywords so that I can have a look at real world searches in local languages - rather than what I take to be the best translation (if that makes any sense). Many thanks, Iain

Am I Doomed with Low Volume Keywords?
I've been pursuing an internet startup for over a year now. We've figured a lot of things out along the way and even managed to start making some modest revenue ~$3,000/month. We're just now starting to dig into SEO and I'm realizing that most of our keywords aren't very high volume. The best have 1,000 local searches per month (exact match) with most being a couple hundred local searches. I'm worried that I've picked a market that's too small, but I don't have the SEO experience to know if this is normal or not. Most of my keywords are rated 'highly competitive' and also are stacked with CPC ads upon Google search. I'd love to know what others' experience with keyword volume is and if I'm just overreacting on limited knowledge. Thanks!
