Google Knol

Views: 713 | | Flag | Print |
I always advocate publishing content (articles, blogs) on multiple web platforms, to really put it work as a marketing tool, so when I heard about Google Knol I was immediately interested.

A 'Knol' is, according to Google, a unit of knowledge. Essentially Google Knol is a collection of articles, but the twist is that is that you can allow other users to edit your own 'Knols', either moderated or unmoderated.Google Knol

One would imagine that Google are unlikely to let their own content-driven product fall down its search rankings, so it is worth having a go, even though there are a few problems to be ironed out (e.g. people not finding their knols). Of course, you can embed links to your own site/blog, which may prove to be the biggest point of value.

I've created a profile and a few knols, using my content from iStadia (listed below). It will be interesting to see how they perform.

I tried knol's too Rob - but not with any great result. It now seems that Google has shelved the whole idea. Agree completely about the need for multiple platform publishing - it's just a matter of targetting the most effective places in terms of traffic and link value.
