Get in the Knol

[coglethorpe]

Google doesn't just hate affiliates, they even hate Wikipedia.

Official Google Blog: Knol is open to everyone

Yup, a user generated encyclopedia, coupled with context-relevant ads, no dobut?

good. fuck wikipedia.

I remember when someone here tried to make a wikipedia page for WF and it got deleted almost immediately.

23:41, 6 June 2008 Accounting4Taste (Talk | contribs) deleted "Wickedfire" ‎ (G10: Pure attack page or negative unsourced BLP: Hangon tag does not assert any relevant argument; article about an organization which does not assert notability (CSD A7))

Maybe WF can get a Knol page instead...

I'm assuming this is a chance for affs to get content network ads out there in all kinds of niches. Something that Wiki just won't allow.

Looks like a cheap version of wikipedia. I'll experiment with it a bit though.

I'm not sure I like how it uses your name in the url. :/

No way I would use it for bum marketing without anonymity.

That's why you make up names - just like you do with article directory sites.

I'm doing a bit of keyword real estate with this. If anyone else is pm your knols I'll add them to a list and make a thread with them all so we can trade reviews and help each other knock out any others that try to enter.

Lucky thing is, once you got a term and a knol you become the sole editor and other contributions become moderated. So you're in control and can later spam to your hearts content. It also automatically puts in adsense!!! muhahahah

they posted a blog about it, and only ONE thing in english:

"NOTE: We sell steamcleaning equipment and don't sell our domain !!"

 

[papajohn56]

also it seems more like it takes on About.com rather than wikipedia, since articles are credited

 

[DanielQ]

I'm a bit surprised at Google's choice of URL structures.

 

[Tedel]

Will Knol be better that About or Wikipedia? I don't think so.

 

[crazyfish]

Has any one made a knol? I just tried it says it's published but when I search for the content or look in my account under my knols I don't see it at all.

I did one and it takes 15 min to become active

I see it listed under my profile now, but when I search for it I get 0 results.

Make sure you have published it.

you got to publish it. If your name isn't verified it takes longer to appear live. It usually takes about 5 minutes with a verified name.
