What is Google Knol? Tell me the importance of it. Give Benefits of Google Knol. Is it important for seo or not?
Knol is a Google project that aims to include user-written articles on a range of topics. [1] The project was led by Udi Manber of Google, [2] announced December 13, 2007, and was opened in beta to the public on July 23, 2008 [3] with a few hundred articles mostly in the health and medical field. [4] Knol has no policies regarding sources or neutrality. Some Knol pages are opinion papers of one or more authors, and others describe products for sale. Some articles are how-to articles or explain product use. Other people can post comments below an article, such as to refute opinions or reject product claims. On January 16, 2009, Google announced that Knol had grown to 100,000 articles, and users from 197 countries visit Knol on an average day. [5] Since then, the Public Library of Science (PLoS) Currents: Influenza [6] and the Harvard University-sponsored forum for Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) Platform [7] have utilized Knol-based collections for rapid exchange of research. The term knol, which Google defines as a "unit of knowledge", [8] refers to both the project and an article in the project. [1] Several experts see Knol as Google's attempt to compete with Wikipedia, [9] while others point out the differences between the projects. [10]Knol pages are "meant to be the first thing someone who searches for this topic for the first time will want to read", according to Udi Manber. Knol makes it easy for you to write and share your knowledge with the world. To create a new knol page, click Write a New Knol at the right side of the screen, under your profile. If this is the first time you have accessed the Knol site, the system will automatically create a new knol for you and put you in edit mode. For every knol: 1. Enter a title. Try to include keywords in the title for easier searchability. 2. Enter a subtitle. The subtitle is optional but it makes it easier for readers to get an idea of the knol content. 3. Enter a summary at the top. 4. Set the publishing mode for the knol. By default your knol starts out unpublished. You can decide to publish your knol at any time by clicking on the Publish button in the author controls on the right hand side of your knol. 5. Set the permissions for who can edit your knol. By default, Moderated Collaboration is set (at the right). This means that if someone suggests a change to the page, you must approve the change before it is made. You can also disable collaboration entirely or make pages open to anyone who wishes to change them.[/LEFT] 6. Select your copyright settings at the right. By default, a Creative Commons Attribution license is specified. You can change this to “All Rights Reserved†(a non-public, traditional copyright choice that prohibits reuse of your materials without express permission) or to a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial license, which permits reuse of your knol, provided the reuse gives proper attribution and is not for commercial purposes.
