Joomla Challenge for Google Knols

knol-logo.pngGoogle launched their Knol site last week. Despite the slightly silly name and Google's failure to get Knol.com from a Joomla site, I though it would worthwhile to take some time and write a couple:


  • Joomla - a general introduction to Joomla
  • Joomla SEO - a rewrite of my general guide to Joomla SEO

Whats the Challenge?

I'd love to see a really, really great Knol on both these topics so I've got a challenge for you ...


I've given both articles an "Open collaboration model" which means that all signed in users can edit the Knol. I'll give a free lifetime SEO Club membership to two people ... whoever makes the most useful edits on each article. Knols have a "Revisions" section so it should be easy to check whose written what. If you're not up for writing, feel free to drop a comment on the Knol as to how the articles can be improved.

@Steve: You must have read the post from Aaron Wall :-)
I have had a go at producing a Knol as well, but I also wanted to test the PDF Import to fill the content.
So I imported my The Little Joomla SEO Book into http://knol.google.com/k/hummer-bie/the-online-version-of-the-little-joomla/1tzpwsy7rbv1s/3#

Now comes the wait to see if in the next few days it will show up in Google, because that is what I am also testing...
There is still a lot to learn on Knol, can't say it is very clean in usability.

Hey Hummerbie!

Cool - I've added your Knol to the pages I'm tracking. Its fascinating to see how pages hosted by Google will compete with rival pages, especially if the content is nearly indentical.
