Keyword comparison and importance

[anavasis]

hello,

how can i compare two keywords? let's say i have i those two keywords:

a) πτυχιακες εργασιες

β) πτυχιακές εργασίες

how can i see in what way most people are searching?

Adwords search volumes are for exact matches only.

If you can rank on the first page for the version with more search volume, that would be better but sometimes it is easier to rank for the smaller search volume variant. And getting most of a smaller number is better than getting none of a large number.

Google has also recently changed the way that the keyword planner works, making it less useful in general. [See Rand's comments here for an alternative.]

hello,

so keyword planner is the best to see searches per month and as a result of those two keywords it is better to rank higher in πτυχιακες εργασιες rather that the other right?

Moreover are these search volumes exact because i find they are no so much! Are they including only the exact match of the words or also Phrase match?

thanks in advance

Hello,

I used Google Keyword Planner to run these keywords, here are the results:

πτυχιακες εργασιες - 1,600 searches per month
πτυχιακές εργασίες - 140 searches per month

That's worldwide without any negative keywords.  There's no way to tell where these searches are being made from, but there's good odds they are mostly coming from Greece or countries with lots of Greeks in them.

If you want to check for yourself, here is the link:

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
