If you're looking to build websites, PHP and Javascript.

c# or visual basic for windows applications, php for web apps. PHP is a breeze to learn and once you know one language the rest are easy to pick up. I am looking into VB right now, Microsofts tutorials on the video side are ok so far.

You can look at here, if you want to learn programming

I would definietely recommend you PHP. It's a very straightforward language with thousands of resources available online.
After you dominate PHP you can easily move forward to the many frameworks available (I would recommend you Laravel, been using it and it's AWESOME).

It's hard really hard to say exactly what is the 'best' programming language to learn. Programming languages are just like tools and they were created for specific purposes in mind. It's like pulling out your toolbox and asking, "what's the best tool in this toolbox?" Best for what?
As far as usage goes in the SEO / web world, I would suggest Ruby. Ruby is an interpreted language that has immense community support from the dev community. It's adopted to work with Rails (Ruby on Rails) which is arguably the most popular web framework right now.
In addition, Ruby works very well for writing one off scripts. It's a spiritual successor to Perl, a previously popular programming language for writing scripts. If you know Ruby, you'll be able to read through a lot of legacy Perl scripts as well.
However, as I mentioned, programming languages have their specific time in place. For instance, if you wanted to build a desktop application, you probably wouldn't be looking at Ruby and probably looking at C# for windows or Objectitive-C for Mac. Or, if you wanted to build something computation heavy, you'll be looking at something more efficient like C++.

For tiny websites and scripts, learn PHP.
For real work or more complicated solution, I would not go into C or C++, really! It is a way too much low leveled for GUI apps/web applications.
I would go into Java or .NET.
Don't even think about "C++ vs Java", the solution is simple - Java is a lot more robust and rapid to develop apps, and if you have to do anything in functionality/efficiency that Java can't, you can build a native Java function in C++ in minutes !
Java also opens your world to web applications and Android.
Only learn C/C++ if you want to work in programming devices, not PC's. There would be almost none ino some time bussisneses, wich will use C++ to write larger GUI applications etc. Is just have too much weight and developing cost too much for large solutions. .NET and Java are really better here, for typical usser apllications and enterprise web apps.

Extremely surprised nobody mentioned Python.
Anyhow, Python gets my vote as it is very easy to learn, easy to read & maintain, all while being extremely powerful. It's also crossplatform.
If your primary focus is on selling SEO software to others, then I'd go with C# or Delphi.
C and C++ are good if you need speed, but you won't need either of these for most SEO software.

Guys you are killing him hahaha, C and C++ is hard to understand for inexperienced people.
If you want to have a first experience coding, and see how you feel yourself doing it, go for PHP as it is really easy to get started and coding simple HTML webpages. And you don't even need paid software as everything is open source. You can use simple applications such as Notepad++ to practice your coding.
After you get some knowledge you can advance to C# or Java as they are simple to understand (and very similar in syntax) and you can create more complex applications, going for a more targeted area, like mobile, desktop apps, or even web (you can continue with PHP + Javascript if your thing is the websites, or go for ASP.NET for example using C# Syntax).
Hope it helps!
