What about Knol? Google!

When Google Knol launched, I was very happy. At the same time, I was a regular technical Blogger. And you know that something 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 remained 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

Google is Loosing 1% of Global Traffic

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!

How can Google Knol fight with Ezines?

• Giving authority to Knols (Even some two years knols doesn’t has a page rank)

This is what Techcrunch think about Knol.

Well, that’s enough about them. Am I a Google Lover?

Thanks
