Alright everyone Google Knol has officially launched. Unsurprisingly you can embed your google adsense ads on your personal articles as well. This opens up a door of insane and huge opportunities for the writers out there!
With Google Knol allowing people to write their own articles, take credit for them, then put adsense ads while at the same time being umbrellaed by massive google traffic and attention is a quick way to get massive traffic. Not only that, the chances of your article, if well written and informative, has a huge chance of getting slammed with traffic and back links from sites looking for good information at google Knol.
So with all this potential, how can you start making the cash money with article writing at Google Knol?
Basic, Short, Informative Articles
I would begin with simple basic articles. You will notice that lots of articles on Knol are very long, this is very unnecessary and sometimes can lead to losing the interest of a reader fairly quick. But, more importantly, the reason I say short and basic articles is because your adsense exposure. Notice that one long article will have usually one adsense ad on it while one short article will also have one adsense ad on it. Well, simply math tells us that your adsense ad on a shorter article will get more exposure than one adsense ad on a longer article. More exposure means more clicks, more clicks means more money.
Eye Catching - Don’t Forget Your Images
Another important tip for making your Knol article a hit is by putting in images. Articles with images always receive more attention and gives you more potential for link backs to your article from other sites, blogs, and similar articles. Not only that, you can also place your google ad’s lucrativity close to the images staying within google adsense terms of ad placement.
Sratch My Back I’ll Scratch Yours
I believe one other very important quick tip to making your Knol article become a hit is by letting others edit it - but only by your approval. Approving someone else’s additions makes a “acceptance” type of relationship between you and the person adding to your article. This makes room for a traffic and source/back-linking relationship and you never know who you become friends with! They could have a similar article sourcing back to yours receiving thousands of hits a day in the future. Make friends!
Link Back
Lastly, always link back to your personal blog if relevant to the article. This just opens up more site exposure.
These are a few basic tricks to getting great adsense ad exposure on your articles at Google Knol. Its simply, because Google is backing Knol feverishly we know that every article has a chance of high exposure and is going to get slammed by search engines. Make your articles keyword friendly, informative, and make friends - you will be making money in no time.
