I have a domain with rank no 1 in google web search!
When I search for the keyword which are the domainname in google adwords, keyword search I get 1.200.000 searches in that keyword. Our domain have only 10 visitors a day - why is that?

i would assume anybody how searches the exact keyword of "how to tube" is not looking for fitness videos. if i wanted fitness videos i would search "fitness videos"
....
the keyword "how to tube" seems to be how to tube feed/how to tube quilt. Not how to be fit.
You need to target different keywords that are more relevant to your site. Forget about targeting your exact domain. If people want to go to how to tube's webpage, they'll find you at number 1 and go there. Otherwise they need to know that you are the resource for fitness videos or whatever it may be...
You're competing with YouTube. Good luck with that.

^^This is solid advice. You gotta figure the broad match kw competition is sites like howcast. And I'll just say it, you're worrying about rank when the most prominent content on your homepage is multiple offers to help me get ripped abs.

Thanks!

On the left-hand side of Adwords, there is a drop-down that says Match Types with Broad [Exact] and "Phrase".
Broad is selected by default.
Adwords defines these 3 match types as:
"Broad: The sum of the search volumes for the keyword, related grammatical forms, synonyms, and related words"
"Exact: The search volume for that specific keyword and close variants"
"Phrase: The sum of search volumes that include the whole phrase or near variants of the whole phrase"
When you are thinking about traffic from these types of keywords, it is best to use the exact match type. For example, you are typing in an exact match, "how to tube" and ranking #1. If you change your search to "how to tube surf", you are no longer #1. Do you see the difference?

According to Google:
Broad: The sum of the search volumes for the keyword, related grammatical forms, synonyms and related words
Exact: The search volume for that specific keyword and close variants
The more generic the words in your keyword the more searches you're going to see in adwords for Broad match.

OK, when I search for how to tube on Google we are no 1,
when I search in Google Adwords keyword tool with the how to tube I get 1.3 milion searches.Can you please explain "broadest term" for me, please. Have you any
idea to use this domain name more efficient.Thanks!

When you say 1200000 searches are you looking at exact match or broad match in adwords?
If your keyword is made up of a number of words then the broad match is going to be wildly unrealistic.
Once you've established a realistic search volume (and you can get a some of this info from Google Webmaster tools) you still may not be getting the share that you'd expect from a #1 ranking.
This is where you need to look at the google search results and take note of the competition there. Look at the adverts, rich snippets, image/video etc. All these could be more compelling for a searcher than your snippet.
Is there a well known name/brand that could be drawing your traffic away from your result?
Can you optimise your page title and meta descriptions to improve your click through from the SERPS. Can you add a compelling offer, benefits and a call to action?

That is the keyword at its "broadest term".
The exact match of your keyword only has 91 global monthly searches according to Google Adwords.

Why do other sites rank higher for our blog content?
Our site has always allowed other sites to RSS feed our content. Recently, we've noticed that searches for a title of our blog post will rank 2 sites that only publish said content, while our links are nowhere to be seen on the SERPs for Google. Is there any way I can fix this or prod Google to adjust it for us? Background: We were ranked highly in many long tail keywords, but lost many of them in June 2013. During this time going forward, we received no manual action.

Blog Posts: 1 link per 125 words?
I've seen this "1 link per 125 words" for blog posts suggestion pop up a variety of places. I wanted to know if that's "correct" or a best practice? In my posts, I generally write between 800 to 1200 words with about 4 to 6 links in the body of the post. However, (and this may be a problem) I add about 13 links in my closing paragraph, "if you have any legal questions, etc etc, click here for your "Tampa personal injury attorney, Clearwater Personal Injury Attorney, etc etc for all the areas we practice in related to that blog post." Should I stop doing that? Does that come off as spammy? (The blog is hosted on our site, if that matters for this question at all). Thanks, Ruben

Would you allow guest writers to have google adsense on your site
Hi, i am thinking of building a website where 30% of the writers would be guest bloggers and i was thinking about letting guest bloggers have adsense on the site. What i was thinking of doing was, allowing the guest blogger to have one google adsense advert on the page of the article but not sure what people think. The new magazine would be on one topic but i am worried incase the person kept on pressing the google adsense advert to get money in. The google adsense code would be there code, does anyone know if there is a way from hiding their code so they do not know which one is their google adsense advert, and do people think this is a good idea. This would only be offered to people who write good quality interest content. will be interested to hear your thoughts

Can I share share my content with other sites either as a individual post or RSS or will I be encourage duplicate content on the web and upset Google
Hi, I have a new site http://www.homeforbusiness.co.uk. I want to encourage traffic to the site by sharing some of my content with other related websites which have a higher PR ranking and traffic for a link to my site. Is this going to upset Google re-duplicate content and devalue my site and stop any organic rankings in the future? Equally some high PR sites which have a good synergy with mine such as http://thewomensbusinessclubs.com/ allow me to add my RSS feed with their blog network. Is this a good thing to do or not for the same reasons as above? Or can I only do the above my creating fresh content? Thanks, Elizabeth Conley

Any article sites that actually still rank welll?
Hi All! After the havoc of Panda and Penguin - are there any article sites that still rank decently for the articles within? I'm not talking about using articles to get backlinks - I want to attract visitors to the articles themselves because of the message within the article. Yes, I know that for lots of reasons my own blog would be better. In addition to that, if you want to spread the message - which sites are recommended? Thanks! Aviva
