When Google Knol launched, I was very happy. At the same time, I was a regular technical Blogger. And you know anything from Google always makes happy them.
Well, I was happy and I thought Knol is going to rock. No more About.com, WikiPedia or any ezines. I have the power to publish like them and I will earn too. The sky looked very near.
OK, so this idea existed for 3 months. I backed to the normal Blogging and almost forgot Knol. My recent love with Ezinearticles forced me to do the little search about Knol and here is the piece.
I think Pictures are more supportive here than my ugly language. So, have a look at the couple of snaps.
Knol and Ezinearticles Traffic Status - Compete.com

Even the site is slow! Google, is this the reason for making site speed an important factor?
Hey Google! Now it's official. You do not want to promote your own daughter Knol!

This is what Techcrunch think about Knol.
Well, that’s enough about them. Am I a Google Lover?
Thanks

Interesting information. But you can clarify what you want to say somewhat more.
I have many knol articles that rank fairly high in google search results and get good visitors numbers and page view numbers every day.
I just wanted to say that Google can compete with some content farms or ezines. But Google is not taking Knol seriously as its other services.
