Help Improve My Google SEO Knol & Win a Free 3 Month SEO Training Trial
Squidoo, Mahalo, eHow, EzineArticles, etc etc etc just got validation for their business models and competition for the ad network that helps them monetize their sites. Google today launched their Knol project:
The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good.
With Knol, we are introducing a new method for authors to work together that we call "moderated collaboration." With this feature, any reader can make suggested edits to a knol which the author may then choose to accept, reject, or modify before these contributions become visible to the public. This allows authors to accept suggestions from everyone in the world while remaining in control of their content. After all, their name is associated with it!
Wired has an article about the designing of Knol, and Danny Sullivan offers more Knol background, including that it is a product from the search team (which could greatly hint at future search integration plans).

Shouldn't the title read "SEO Training Trial" not SEO Training Trail.
hehehe...I need to fix that. thanks!
Nice work Aaron.
Thanks Chris
So Aaron, do you think there will be a correlation between Knol comments and Knol SERPS? You're well on the way to finding out :.)
Is the contest also for people who are already a memember of the forums?
The contest is for people who have not yet joined. The hope I have is that people who are currently in it as paid members see enough value to stick with it. Luckily many people do! :)
I am not sure...but 2 rules to live by:
I would put site structure in front of on page optimization. I know it seems trivial, but information architecture is definitely where most sites fail first.
If you get the IA & taxonomy right, it is much easier to doe the rest correctly, even if you need some trial and error along the way.
Thanks for the feedback Jonah :)
yea I could use a break from the monthly payment, Im in!
