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.

Web page or blog ? Which one is preferable
Hello, For one of our sites, 19 keywords are ranking on Home page. But, the home page doesn't have content with those keywords. I am afraid that with Google updates, we will eventually lose all the ranking position for these keywords. Should we ask the client to create blog around those keywords or create separate pages ? Thanks

Content Creation For Blog & Ranking Locally
Hey Everyone, I'm trying to rank for specific long tail key words such as: lower back pain treatment exercises lower back surgery options herniated disc exercises and etc. My question is: If I create a blog or article on these key words and integrate content and video within it and on youtube, will these blog posts come up locally when someone searches it within my area?

If my blog is on Wordpress, and I've installed the AMP plug-in, what do I need to do to get Google to start indexing all my posts as AMP pages?
If I add /amp to the end of any of my posts, I can see that the plug-in is working. It's been months since I installed it, though, and Google hasn't indexed any of the AMP pages. Am I missing a step?

Indexing but Not Ranking
Hello, I have noticed this with some articles. Here is an example:
Content Development | | SneakerFiles
http://www.sneakerfiles.com/air-jordan-11-low-closing-ceremony-release-date/ For the term "Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony" I do not show up on the first 3 pages of Google even though the website has a back link to this particular page (maybe more). It's almost like some pages just disappear. Also I will rank very high (page 1) for a sneaker that is going to release for months then all of a sudden, about a week from the release, I disappear entirely. Not sure why this is (other in my field also rank on page 1 but stay). The site has been around for just about 10 years now with a large amount of backlinks (I don't go out and try to obtain backlinks unless it's something exclusive to share with others). Any help would be greatly appreciated.0 -
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.
