Google 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!
