Knol... A gift from the SEO GODS!

By
Mortgage and Lending with Dave Cowper

I was reading ( http://activerain.com/blogs/dazzled )'s Blog  (She rocks!!) and found this mention of Knol. Basically it's a wikkipedia  type site done by google for people to write knowledge based articles that can be searched on the web.

If that last sentence didn't make you tingle just a little bit read it again. I'll wait...... 

Google will spider this huge knowledge data base of all the articles that we Active Rainers are going to write. Yes your web-links, name, profile, phone numbers, pictures, can all be included.

Personally I grabbed my name, my company's name and then invented a title/sub-title that had my 13 favorite keywords in it.

 Have a look at my handy work (only 6 more hours of my life spent in the cyber space) 

http://knol.google.com/k/dave-cowper/bc-home-mortgage-financing-approval/3fsve0k8hjkp/4#

When you do start writing on this site be aware that you can select an option so others cannot edit your site directly but can make suggestions that you will need to approve before they show up your Knol.

Soon all the Active Rainers will be visiting the knol. It's in BETA and only been on since last summer, lots of opportunity there. Imagine if you had started on Active Rain only 6 months after it started... you'd have a baazillion points by now.

if it gets the active rain bump in traffic it will probably be spun off and sold for a couple million dollars, lol.

I created an article a while back, didn't get much from it.  I think it may be one of those things which Google will cancel, as they have done with so many other projects.  They were trying to take over Wikipedia...getting greedy.

Dave - This looks pretty cool, and you did a really good job on your stuff.  I can't wait to explore more about this, and spend my 6+ more hours in cyberspace.  I do feel this will be a great tool.
