Knol seems to combat the problems that Wikipedia has, in that it stops anyone posting nonsense. The only way I can see it helping you get more website hits is by making you seem an authority on your given subject.

I’ve written stuff for Know a few times and found it to be of very little value for both traffic and SEO. There was a lot of hype surrounding it when it first appeared – maybe because it has the Google name on it. After this much time since its launch, I expected it to be a lot more popular than it appears to be now.

Are the links no followed? Good for traffic then but poor for link juice?

I think it has been around for a while now – but I don’t know the exact date.

How old is Knol? I started to hear about Knol about recently.

I’ll probably might start using it but if it’s still new then I’ll let google work out all the bugs and whatnot…

@All – thank you for your comments, I appreciate them but fell behind on my responses.

@Anything Tips – thank you for your great advice and thoughtful comments!

@Lafayette Lawyer – over time, I haven’t found Knol to be helpful.

Thanks for the helpful post, I have came across Knol before but didn't give it a deeper look. But i have something to say (also replying to Dwiki), Those type of articles we should put up in Knol are very hard to write, they need a special writing style, they are more like an academic articles that is wrote by Ph.D Professors in University and Authority websites like .edu domains..etc for researches, They need to meet a very high standarads to be accepted, adding references and so on. I guess if anyone don't have the writing skills or the time to do a comprehensive research first before writing those type of articles and still want to take advantage of knol, you need to outsource it to some professional writer, simply you can goto getafreelancer.com, open a project and hire a copywriter and tell him/her of your needs first before they start writing for you. it will cost you money but i guess it's very well worth it. they also need not to be less than 5000 words per article, But imagine the PR and traffic you will get from a link back to your website from within those articles. you also need to have a high quality website to meet the same standards of the written articles that you will post into knol. so your visitors won't get shocked of disappointment by the quality difference and go away as soon as they arrive lol like Seo Diva said earlier, they are more formal and the style of normal articles we all write for our blogs and websites won't meet their needs. and will be easily rejected before they even appear in the knol website. Btw, Seo Diva, i like your blog alot, full of high quality infromation and very nice and unique theme design. Keep up the good work Good Luck Kind Regards Anything Tipss last blog post..How to Scan for your own Non-Public Socks Proxy Servers

I don’t understand how can this be useful if it’s nofollow, I mean, of course direct referer links, but anything else? Thanks!

I created a couple of knols, but they both got deleted. They was nothing wrong with them, maybe my quality of writing is just not good enough. Dwikis last blog post..PHP

Thanks for providing info about Knol. I visited the website & it could be a nice online page where you can post info about your company or services. After all sub domain KNOL is comes from GOOGLE. So as far as SEO is concerned (off page optimization) it will definitely help.
