A Knol is a one-paged website hosted by GOOGLE itself! Very similar to a Squidoo lens, a Knol allows you to publish information online and get visitors from both the Knol community and search engines.
'Knol' stands for 'a unit of knowledge'.
A Google Knol is your own slice of social marketing heaven that was only unleashed to the public recently. After seeing the success of Squidoo, Hub Pages, and Wikipedia, Google wanted their own chunk of the Web 2.0 arena.
We all know that certain Web 2.0 sites have the ability to get indexed quickly and rank high in the search engines. What do you think will happen when the daddy of all search engines starts ranking it's OWN pages in the search results? Bloggers have already seen Google Knols get indexed fast and rank high in search results - just days after the launch of Google Knol.
If you have any sort of business to conduct on the Internet, you'll want a Google Knol positioned to represent your expertise in your chosen niche. Google has effectively merged together a whole bunch of successful Web 2.0 sites, and is ready and raring to propel their Web 2.0-Frankenstein creation to 'Internet Giant' status. And you know Google. They WILL succeed.
Google Knol combines ideas from Squidoo, Hub Pages and Wikipedia, and the Google Knol team have put together an incredible site.
You can earn money from a Knol by linking to your own site (turning visitors into customers), by having your own Google Adsense ads in the sidebar (bagging you 100% of the clicks), or by embedding in your own graphics and banners.
You can even get other web surfers to add to your Knol with both comments, reviews, and even by adding their own articles to the text itself (requiring your approval, of course).
And, a Google Knol is incredibly easy to maintain!
Sound like Internet Marketing heaven? Just wait until you see everything else Google Knol has to offer!
People are always talking about the Google Gods. Google.com has become so powerful over the last few years, it's almost scary. The Google Homepage is the Internet's most valuable real estate. It is the Buckingham Palace of the virtual world.
Google are continually developing new applications to help their search engine stay on top. And Google Knol is the latest in a series of strategic launches, destined for success.
Here are some things you may not know about Google:
1.) Google has the largest index of webpages in the world, numbering in the billions and they can search the entire database in less than half of a second.
2.) Google gets over a billion search requests each day.
3.) 'The Times of London' listed Google as the "fastest growing company in the history of the world."
4.) According to Hitwise, Google controls over 65% of all searches in the United States and over 80% of all searches in the United Kingdom.
5.) Google isn't ashamed of its love for money. It earned $15 billion in revenue in 2007, and it controls almost 80% of the pay per click market, as well as 40% of all online advertising, says HipMojo.
6.) According to Millward Brown Brandz Top 100, Google has reached the status of Number One Brand in the World.
Now don't you want them on your side when it comes to marketing your own brand online? It would appear they know a thing or two about it!
If you're not an expert... you're a nobody. That's just how it is. Sorry.
With Squidoo you get to blow your own trumpet and strut your stuff as an expert in your niche. And not only do the publishers love it, but it's a real hit with visitors too. You put a name and a face to a product recommendation, and people are far more inclined to trust it.
With HubPages, the idea is the same. You 'publish your passions' and share what you know with people who want to know it too.
With just these 2 sites alone, we're talking millions and millions of visitors (potential customers) each and every month!
Letting people brand themselves as experts is becoming BIG business. And like any major Internet trend... Google wants a piece of the action! And they'll make damn sure they make a success of this and try every trick in the book to make Google Knols a roaring success. Now, thanks to BuildMyKnol, you won't miss out on your piece of the enormous Expert Marketing pie.
Google is finally going to HELP you. How long have you waited for THAT to happen?! They are going to help your customers find YOU. For FREE.
The saying goes... "People will buy from those they know, like, and trust".
So the question that comes to mind is a toughie for most people to answer.
"If someone was researching around your chosen niche, would they keep seeing your name and face popping up so often that it would cause them to yell out 'MAN! This person is EVERYWHERE!" ??
If not, why not?
The problem most people come up against is one you are probably already familiar with. Lack of Time!
