Wikipedia has a new challenger in town. The name is Knol (meaning a unit of knowledge) but this isn't any ordinary online competitor....this is Google's new baby.

What makes Knol different from Wikipedia is that they do not allow annonymous posting and modification of entries by others. What they do provide is that authors get FULL credit for thier individual work and...AND (here is the huge "link love" benefit) your writing gets indexed on Google and other search engines.

To become a real estate author on Google's Knol check out thier real estate section HERE. There are only 63 articles (or "Knol's" for the VERY broad search term, "Real Estate") and we all know THAT will change soon. They are still in beta since is a brand new launch --which makes NOW the time to get involved.

In addition to the 'Link Love' you will get as you are indexed, there is also the benefit of being a Google recognized expert in your field.

Now if we can only find enough time to actually show homes and write contracts in between all this typing online we will really be successful! ;)
