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.

Blog Content if Google has stated it doesn't like your blog?
Hi guys, In the new 'mobile usability' tab in Webmaster Tools, Google has stated that our blog isn't offering a good experience for users. Something we already knew and I want to change, but I can't get the budget approved to complete the work. I was just wondering if you think Google isn't going to hold my content very high as a result. I want to produce more content on our blog around our valuable keywords in hope to improve our rankings, but if Google isn't holding our site in high regard I'm thinking there may not be much point in it. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

Author Rank - Using the brand as the author
Hi i'm building a new site and want to start building up author rank right from the start. If you are building author rank for a brand, do you think its fine to use the brand as the actual author of the content, instead of a actual person? Or using a stage name rather then a persons actual name, and have your writers write under that particular stage name? Would love to hear peoples opinions. Cheers, Mark

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

For a consumer facing blog, how often do you recommend updating content to develop good rankings? I understand that it's really dependent upon the niche/competition, but what are some best practices? Content is expensive. Thanks
