International SEO 101, Part 2

One of the challenges with keyword research is to truly identify the language of the customer so we can include this language on our Web site and in our search marketing efforts. With international SEO, this challenge is magnified by localization, different languages, and cultures. Keywords that might be popular in one language may not be in another, even through translation.
