About Knol

How Knol will have 30X Increase in Visitors and Page Views in the next 3 Years

Article posted on 23.10.2011

Announcement of Knol closure was made on 22 Nov 2011

Knol was open for public posting in July 2008. Google analytics was made available on Knol in May 2009. So Knol authors who installed analytics in May 2009 can see the performance of their knol portfolio and individual knols from June 2009.

As I observe my June 2009 page views and my current page views I realize that, there is a six fold increase in page views. The historical records of the visitors and page views are posted in Knol Page Views and Visitors - Historical Record - K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao.

What is the forecast for the future for Knol?

30X increase in visitors and page views.

What is the basis for such an estimate?

The S curve phenomenon applicable to new products. New products initially take time to get the attention of early adopters to use it. Once early adopters express their satisfaction and start informing others about the utility of the product, the market starts growing. In the case of Knol, except for the intial few days, in the social media, there is negative news. The leaders of the social chose to denounce Knol as a platform that has no place in the academic content area. Knol is an open platform without any editorial control. Also, it was operated as a passive content platform without any push from the platform managers to increase content on it. Even though, adsense was allowed on the platform, there is no real emphasis on it. Initially only one advertisement was placed in the article. Subsequently, two ads were placed. There was no effort to monetize the article further allowing other advertisement. Therefore, the platform was not at all attractive professional bloggers who are writing on various content farms for money. Knol, went for low monetization, high page view route and there is no professional writer who is into such strategy. Pure academicians and corporate professionals who wrote for the purpose knowledge sharing, have no idea of promoting online articles. They simply posted the article and left it. But online articles are ranked by their backlinks and due to the absence of backlinks, articles on Knol were not visible in search results. Social media pundits reported that knols are not appearing in search results and therefore they have no value. Despite all these factors, which acted as negative factors, Knol had 6X improvement in 2 years.

Is there Positive Sentiment for Knol now?

Knol presently has estimated 6.95 million unique visitors per month. The unique visitors number is growing steadily. There are many authors who posted 100 knols and many of them are posting new knols further. This visitors - author combination is the strength of Knol now. Also, persons who are making negative comments on Knol are showing their willingness to reevaluate Knol when they are presented fact of Knol's performance. Some started writing about the good performance of Knol in comments. So the positive sentiment for Knol is being built at the foundation level by visitors and authors. Knol Author Foundation recently released two press releases and they were received well.

The positive sentiment will help Knol in increasing its performance many fold in the coming three years.

Required Online Infrastructure Now Available

Search Engine Indexing

In the initial authors expressed their anxieties regarding indexing of their knols. Now we know that knols are getting visitors from all search engines. Still many knols may not have been indexed. But it is up to the authors now to make their knols visible to search engines through their online communications. At the basic level, many knols are indexed on all the search engines.

Social Networks Support

Support of social networks will come if knol authors participate on social networks. For authors participating on Orkut, Facebook, Linkedin, Google+, Tumblr, Chime.in, Twitter there is support for their knols and visitors are coming from these networks.

Wiki-Blogger Needed

2011-11-23T07:02:00.000-08:00

I think now that Google decided to close knol as an independent Google product with a slogan Knol is not a blog. It is appropriate that it gives the knol platform to blogger and call it as wiki-blogger. The url of the knols can be changed to http://wiki.blogspot.com. While scientific journals like PLOS may not be interested in being part of wikiblogger and hence will go many of the authors would be happy to go to Wiki-blogger. I think the Google will notice the idea if more knol authors are in favor of it.

Knol authors have to make the suggestion and advocate it vigorously. As a Wikiblogger, the platform will get the support of millions of bloggers. Actually bloggers were offended when Knol was started with the slogan Knol is not a blog implying bloggers are not welcome on Knol.

Change it to Wikiblogger and give it Blogger management. Wikiblogging and mobile blogging are the modern tools and Blogger has to offer both to its members.

Last Day of Third Year of Knol Public Operations

2011-07-25T17:02:00.000-07:00

From tomorrow Knol will start its fourth year of public operations.

In three years, Knol performed well. Thousands of Knol authors have contributed useful, readable, valuable and popular content. It is down under performance from Knol authors. Today it looks good performance.

Visit: http://www.quantcast.com/knol.google.com.

It says 251.2 K US monthly people. It is a good number. Because to get global numbers, multiply it by 10. It means 2.5 million global monthly people. It is a respectable number. Once Knol authors realize and others realize that it is a respectable number, the growth of Knol will accelerate.

Beginning of Active Sharing of Creative Commons License Knols

2011-07-11T06:49:00.000-07:00

Knol provided the option of specifying various types of content sharing licenses to provide options to authors. Why authors specify creative commons 3.0 license? They specify the license to facilitate sharing of their content on various other blogs and websites. If no blogger or webmaster used the creative commons license content on their blogs and websites, the objective behind specifying creative commons is not attained. Knol authors have to proactively inform bloggers to share their content on through their blogs.

An initiative to promote active sharing of creative commons knols was launched by me. It facilitates locations of creative commons knols and also provides a format to blogger. Of course bloggers have more expertise in their activity and can share the information in their own way.

Some knols reshared today.

The blog Google Knols Reshared contains various knols with creative commons which are shared by me.

Knol Completing Three Years of Public Operations

2011-07-02T06:17:00.000-07:00

Knol is open to everyone announcement was made on Google on 27.7.2008

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/knol-is-open-to-everyone.html

On 27.7.2011, Knol will complete three years and start its fourth year of operations.

What has Knol achieved?

Many professors, professionals, corporate executives, business owners, authors and students contributed on Knol many learning materials. There are research papers published by scientists in some of the subjects as online research journals were started some organizations on Knol.

Apart from the education category there are many other categories like business, entertainment, music and shopping on Knol, There are many knols in these categories also.

Google has not managed this platform actively. It is acting as a passive provider of technology platform. Authors also could not come up with alternate ways of promoting the platform. But authors were very active in contributing 600,000 knols so far. There are at least 50,000 knols with 500 or more page views. There is good scope now to promote this good content by authors and get around 250,000 page views. Add another 350,000 page views from the remaining 550,000 knols, Knol can have 600,000 page views per day which is a good performance. It can increase to one million page views per day very quickly and one million page views per day is very respectable figure for any website.

Good days ahead for Knol

Objective of Knol - Highlighted

2011-04-17T02:49:00.000-07:00

The Objective

To increase number of Online Authors and make more content (Knowledge) available to people.

There are millions of people who possess useful knowledge that they would love to share, and there are billions of people who can benefit from it. We believe that many do not share that knowledge today simply because it is not easy enough to do that. The challenge posed to us by Larry, Sergey and Eric was to find a way to help people share their knowledge. This is our main goal. Udi Manber in (Source: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/encouraging-people-to-contribute.html )

The goal is for knols to cover all topics, from scientific concepts, to medical information, from geographical and historical, to entertainment, from product information, to how-to-fix-it instructions. Google will not serve as an editor in any way, and will not bless any content. All editorial responsibilities and control will rest with the authors. We hope that knols will include the opinions and points of view of the authors who will put their reputation on the line. Anyone will be free to write. For many topics, there will likely be competing knols on the same subject. Competition of ideas is a good thing.
