The New Kid on the Block – Google Knol

So you wonder what a Google Knol is. Well, let me tell you. Have you ever heard of Squidoo Pages or Hub Pages? Then you will know what a Knol is. If you haven’t heard of these, I’ll explain here what Google Knol is and how it can benefit you.

What is Google Knol?

If you’re familiar with Squidoo pages, then a Google Knol will look familiar. A Knol is a place where you can create an article that intrigues you and post this article to share with others. If you produce good quality content in your writing and want to share it with the world, what better place to unleash all the knowledge in your head than at the giant Google itself. Google Knol is a term that means “unit of knowledge” again, this is where you can share your wealth of knowledge and at the same time brand yourself by showing your expertise. Another advantage of contributing to Knol is that there are no policies in place when it comes to sources.

Earn money with Knol.

A significant benefit of Knol is that you can make a few extra bucks with this great site. Google Knol allows you to link your articles to your AdSense ad account. The more articles you have published on Knol, the more money you could generate with AdSense. Some authors prefer not to post ads on their knoles, they feel that this makes their articles cheaper, and they want to look as professional as possible. The option is entirely yours, you decide what you want to do, and this is what I like about Google Knol.

Quality content.

If you are concerned about your reputation on the Internet, it is vital that you produce good quality content in your writing. Your name is published on the internet if you are a web producer, a social butterfly on all social marketing sites, or if you submit articles to all article outlets. It is extremely important that you do your research and write with quality in mind. Remember that it is your name and face that is attached to the article.

Although Google Knol has been around for a couple of years, it is still downstairs in my thinking. Now is the time to seize this golden opportunity to possibly cash in on this amazing site that Google has brought us.
