What are daily visitors and page view numbers for Knol platform?
Trying to come out with a figure.
http://www.quantcast.com/knol.google.com gives a maximum of 20,000 US visits per day. Can we assume that 200 countries put together Knol has 200,000 visits per day?
In my case, during the last 30 days total visits were 47,521 and visits from USA were 7,193. That gives the picture that total is approximately 7 times that of US visitors.

Prestige Auto Gallery is posting interesting knols on cars. I made a comment on one of their knols.

Remove unnecessary links

I think one link Written by Alex Abramovich for Prestige Auto Gallery should be sufficient advertisement for prestige auto gallery and the other three links can be removed to make the article a genuine knol.

May be "We at Prestige Auto Gallery charge $20 and make sure this service is done properly" is an appropriate link. Other two are not redundant links and can be removed. You are writing good informative articles. You will get good benefit of articles if you desist from giving unnecessary link.

All the best.

Centurion Knollers - Knol Authors. The list is slowly expanding. Hope the list touches 1000 in one more year.

In one year time we are hoping for 1000th ranked author to have 100,000 page views. That will give 100,000,000 page views or 100 million page views from the top 1000 authors alone. At least 100,000 authors will join knol. Knol has to make more people aware of knol writing opportunities by attracting number of people to knol help main page.

Goal of Knol: Knol Authors 100,000 - Knols 1 million - Top 100 Website. We hoped 100,000 authors will join by July 2010. Some news creates hope that it may be achieved.

But http://www.fimoculous.com/archive/post-6800.cfm says only 163,000 knols are posted so far. It is not a figures that can be accepted. But we need a more reliable figure also. Knol management needs to come out with an official figure.

Author to be watched György Tausz (Hungarian)
From the last review to this review the korean number author has added 365,000 page views. Gyorgy Tausz has added 291,000. In contract ehowknol has added 101,000. Two individual authors in two different languages are racing ahead at a frentic pace. They ask other authors to look at their knol writing practices and improve them. Probably, English has plenty of articles already on various topics and for knol articles to break ahead, things are not easy. But recruiting more authors needs to be done on an urgent basis.
It is good to note that number of most viewed authors has crossed 3000. The minimum page views is 3000 for these authors. Hope this number goes up to 10,000 by the end of 2010. At least 1000 authors need to have 100,000 page views by year end. Presently 75 authors have achieved this distinction. 158 authors have crossed 50,000 page views.

Knol Marathon is a spectator sport. Scores are given by spectators. Money to the participants comes from spectators. There can be sponsors for some participants.
Knol marathon has dynamic targets with identified subraces. 25,000 page views (pv), 50,000 pv, 100,000 pv are the begineers' races. 250,000 pv, 500,000 pv, 750,000 pv and 10,000,000 are advanced races. These targets keep getting extended as race progresses. The million page view target is now added as eHowKnol achieved that target and racing ahead.
Like in a marathon race, the people who finish the race at a point in time cheer for the other participants. The participants do take some rest, but their vehicles and animals keep moving in the race. It means the participation is always there, even though the actual person is sleeping on his animal or in his vehicle.
Presently the participants ahead include eHowKnol, a korean knol writer and Narayana Rao (myself). In this race everybody has an animal or a vehicle. Some are high quality animals and some are second hand vehicles. Some participants are students and some participants are professors. Some participants are cooks and some participants are kings. Like in a marathon conducted fairly, some cooks come ahead of some kings and kings have to manage their frustration.

Merry Christmas to all Knol Readers

Indian knol authors are facing the problem as by default the transliteration button is on and the posting is occuring in Hindi. I am totally troubled by this problem for two days and came to know the immediate remedy from knol help. I wrote frantic comments on a number of knols.
Brand Management

Brand management is an important part of marketing. A product made after understanding the requirements of consumer can be sold through trade channels i.e. retails shops without branding as a generic product. But manufacturers can try to brand their product among their target market and create a preference for their product among consumers. Consumers would still buy the product from the retailer but now he asking for a specific item made by specific manufacturer or a marketer. Branding, which is creating awareness among the target market people and creating a preference for the brand requires marketing investments. Companies are investing in branding because there is a return to brand investment. There are number knol authors who are trying explain branding and related issues on knol.

Concepts of brands

Some More knols having detailed material


See an interesting knol with only 200 page views but with four good comments

Knol authors are using twitter to promote your knols. Are you using all features of twitter. I am not. I have to use the ideas in the knol above. Money Power Wisdom Dr. Mani is the author. I appreciate his tips.

Knol readers are on holiday activities probably. Page views are going down drastically. That is fine. People need to enjoy spend time with their family members and friends. Web sites and documents are there anyway and they can be accessed only when they make sense and deliver some benefit.

Happy Holidaying.

Some economic knols

18.12.2009

György Tausz  is running strong. His weekly page views are now 62,757. Probably he will be the third millionaire knoller. We have to look for other knol authors  coming out with surprise performance. The role models of knol have suddenly changed. Knol authors have to now concentrate on their work. Write men, write. Write more knols. Write more good knols. Promote them. Inform your contacts. Your knol portfolio performance is in your own hands.
16.12.2009
손지훈 became a millionaire knoller. His page views now are 1,001,595. Congratulations. He also established a record for weekly page views 101,045.
The Brain, Thinking, and Memory by By Cheuk-Wah Wong was on the knol home page today. The knol has 5000 page views. Mr. wong is an author. His book  A General Theory of the Brain and Memory. North Charleston, South Carolina, BookSurge Publishing, 2007 is mentioned in the references. He has one more paper A brain model with the circuit to convert short-term memory into long-term memory. MEDICAL HYPOTHESES  1997; 48: 221-226. The knol and the book, the paper mentioned make the knol an interesting reading.
Some more knols on the topic of brain included by me in the knol Behavioral Sciences Knols and Knowledge - Bulletin Board

Kerala

There are knols on various counties. There are knols on various states in a country also. Kerala is a state in India. The following are some knols on it.
There are still more knols on the state. They have to become popular. For each state, province or region of each country we need knols. Knol authors have initiate knols and make efforts to develop them through collaboration.

14.12.2009

Knol Progess - Weekly Bulletin was updated. Knols in the system increased to 529,000. It is difficult to interpret this number. Does it include only full knols? Does it include comments also?
Number of top views knols has increased to 2307.
Number of most views authors has gone up to 2820. Last week this number was 2799.For the week ended 8.11.2009 the number was 2708. So around 100 new authors got added to this list. This is a good sign. Once knol management puts a page view level for satisfying the criteria of to viewed author, the number of authors fulfilling this target reflects the progress of knol.
The top three authors' page views were
Page Views Number One Author - eHowKnol - 1,071,000
Page Views Number Two Author - 손지훈 - 941,000

As the commentator for knol, I wish knol success all the time. I do keep reading negative comments about knol in various web pages, but wherever, there is an opportunity for writing a comment, I write my positive views about knol. Knol provided a wiki based collaborative article writing platform to the society. There are many around the world who have something to share, but do not have the means. Knol provided that means and some are using the platform. Still many are not aware of it and once they become aware of it they will join the crowd.
Knol is a collaborative platform. Each author should welcome others to contribute to his articles and write comments on his knol. But unfortunately there are some exclusive authors who feel they are losing their readers to other authors, if they allow contributions or comments. They remove the contributions, erase comments and even rebuke the contributing authors.
But then a large majority of people live in this world with faith that something better can exist between persons in this world than the combative and manipulative exchanges some persons initiate that threaten to destroy us today itself.
Mainstream Academic Research is nice author name to have. Knol is already having articles from main stream academic researchers. Also we have Sajid Khan whose claims his output to be is layman's research. Mainstream academic research has so far published six knols. In all of them, in summaries, main stream academic research is mentioned for various lines of thinking.
NEW KNOLS - December - November 2009 was updated.  A history sub-directory Knol Sub-Directory - India - History appeared.
Not many history knols are available on knol. History of Immigration and Naturalization in the United States is sighted in search. Guantanamo Bay - History, Organization, Profiles is a popular knol with 8000 pv. Dust Bowl of the 1930’s & a History of Causes is probably on environment as we understand today. How to Find Out the History of Your Boston House is at the level of a house. Interesting. The History of the Ford Mustang GT/CS is connected to american life.
There is a big scope for writing knols on history of USA. US knol authors have to notice it. Knol authors have to make knol a comprehensive sources for knowledge in various subjects. In the process of writing an article afresh, you may be able to bring a new perspective. Only when you focus on a topic, thoughts will appear.
There is a knol on teaching of history. Discover Waldorf Education: The Teaching of History. Eugene the author writes on Waldorf education system and its applications.
I look for a subject and some authors every day to comment upon. Today History is the subject.
Let me mention, Mumbai marathon, the event responsible to make me a blogger and knoller has attracted the largest number of participants this year. One of my colleagues, a knol author is participating in full marathon this year. I could not participate in full marathon as joints do not encourage me to take up such tough tasks. Best wishes to all mumbai marathon participants and knol marathon participants. Best wishes to spectators of both the events.

A knol with 50 ratings all five stars Neurolinguistic Programming by Joe Greenfield is also getting special promotion announcements. Catching the attention of knolers, knol spectators is not easy. Even though they come to the stadium they watch the bulletin boards and go away. Why do they watch bulletin boards? Because their color changes more frequently, a knol author gives his opinion frustrated that his antics have no takers.
One such bulletin board, Knol Bulletin Board 2009, for Authors and Visitors. by By Angela, kalle schwarz, Narayana Rao K.V.S.S., Peter Greenfinch was modified an hour ago only.
