How to get to Page 1 on Google in 24 hours - and get paid for it.
The Google Knol I created on the 24th of July entitled ‘How to Read the Russian Alphabet in 75 Minutes‘ was already appearing on Page 1 of a Google Search for “read russian” with 12,300,000 results following, just a day later.
I have updated the title within Knol from the one showing in the Google index, but that’s still a pretty impressive result for content that I created and put online only the day before.
And Google say they’ll pay me from any adsense revenue the page generates. This is part of the reason why I was interested in Google Knol from December last year when it was first announced. We’ll see how it develops, but it looks like a fairly effective way to share your knowledge, get good search positions, and also perhaps make some money. Until someone pinches your content… (to be fair, Google allow content to have three copyright models - the two popular Creative Commons licence types, and one of ‘All rights reserved’.
You may be interested to joing a Ning-powered discussion group that I created when first hearing about Google Knol, and which is now beginning to gain members and become active: Knol Roll on Google Knol .
