Will Knol Rule The Search Engines? First Analysis Indicates…It Just Might
July 23rd, 2008 by Mike Reining Read more about SEOGoogle just launched Knol and the whole world is wondering whether every SEO expert and affiliate marketer out there is going to start writing Knol’s instead of Wikipedia articles.
Why?
* For SEO Juice
* For making money
Well, my first analysis indicates that this might be indeed happen. Here 5 Knols that were featured on Knol’s home page and they are already ranking on the first page of Google.
Tooth Pain - Google Rank #3
Vomiting in infants and children - Google Rank #3
How to Backpack - Google Rank #4
Toilet Clogs - Google Rank #4
First Ironman Triathlon - Google Rank #7
When are you going to write your first Knol? I am guessing that the Squidoo affiliate army is going to jump on this in a second and I will be writing my first Knol very shortly and let you know how it goes!

Well it looks cool, I will probably write a few for the hell of it. Yet where is the “SEO Juice” going to come from? This is a Google product so of course all the out bound and many in fact of the internal links are nofollowed.
Very true. You might not be able to get any SEO juice from Knol to your own sites BUT you can probably get your Knol pages to rank very high very quickly by linking to them and then steer the visitors to your desired websites from Knol.
will look into this thanks
ANy news about Knoll?
