The Story

What is a Google Knol Page? I have to start with that question because not everyone knows about Google Knol Pages. Google didn’t really push their Wikipedia style article directory very hard.

You can set up a Google Knol account or search for Knols on any topic at http://knol.google.com.

Why would I want to build Google Knol Pages? There are probably several answers for that. Link building is not one of them. Google Knol Pages use the no follow tag, so it will not help create one-way inbound links.

I use it for article marketing. Through http://www.ArticleContentProvider.com, I have written thousands of articles for clients and submitted them to thousands of article directories. However, I can get more impact from using an article to build a Google Knol Page than I can from submitting that article to 1000 article directories.

1. You can put links in the body of the article with a Google Knol Page. You can’t do that in article directories.

2. I can add images, audio and video to a Google Knol Page. You can’t do that in article directories.

3. I can use social bookmarking to drive traffic to the Google Knol Page. Visitors to my Knol Page are ten times more likely to visit my website than readers of my article at an article directory.

So, if you are doing article marketing, I suggest you use some of your articles to build Google Knol Pages rather than submitting them to article directories.

Don’t do both with the same article. Build your Google Knol Page with unique, original content that is not duplicated elsewhere. Google Knol Pages can rank very well in the search engines if you do it right.

What is a Knol Buddy? Knol Buddy is an extension for users of the Google Chrome Browser. When you are on a web page, you click the Knol Buddy button in the browsers toolbar and it will find Knol pages that are similar to the content on that page.
