Google Knol - Google's Latest Attack on Copyright
 


<h3>Knol Off to a Quick Start</h3>
<p>One day after Knol publicly launched Wil Reynolds noticed that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. Danny Sullivan did a further test showing that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login in the first page of search results. Danny was also surprised that his Knol was ranking #28 after 1 day. After citing it on his blog now that Knol page ranks #1 in Google!</p>

<h4>Google's House Advantage</h4>
<p>From the above data (and the aggressive promotion of YouTube content after the roll out of universal search) it is fair to state that house content is favored by the Google algorithm.</p>

<h4>Another Knol Test</h4>
<p>Maybe we are being a bit biased and/or are rushing to judgement? Maybe a more scientific effort would compare how Knol content ranks to other content when it is essentially duplicate content? I did not want to mention that I was testing that when I created my You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, but the content was essentially a duplicate of my You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (that was also syndicated to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login). Even Google shows this directly on the Knol page</p>
<h4>Google Knows its Duplicate Content</h4>
<p></p>

<h3>Is Google the Most Authoritative Publisher?</h3>
<p>Given that Google knows that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login is a many year old high authority directory and that the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login page with my content on it is a PageRank 5, which does Google prefer to rank? Searching for You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login I found that the Knol page ranks in the search results.</p>

<p></p>

<p>If I override some of Google's duplicate content filters (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) then I see that 2 copies of the Knol page outrank the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login page that was filtered out earlier.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Some may call this the Query Deserves Freshness algorithm, but one might equally decide to call it the copyright work deserves to be stolen algorithm. Google knows the content is duplicate (as proven by the notification they put on their page), and yet they prefer to rank their own house content over the originally published source.</p>
<p></p>

<h3>Hijacking Your Rankings via Knol - Google Knoljacking</h3>
<p>Where this becomes a big issue is if a person...</p>
<ul><li>posts your content to Knol</li>
<li>and buys/rents/begs/steals/spams/borrows a couple decent inbound links</li> </ul>
<p>they can get you filtered out of the search results - even if your site is an authority site. Bad news for anyone publishing copyright work online. </p>

<h4>Google Knol Undermines the Creative Commons Spirit</h4>
<p>Some new publishers decide to license their work via Creative Commons (hoping to be paid back based on the links economy), but Google wants no part in that! You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, so even if a person wants to give you credit for your work Google makes it impossible to do so.</p>

<h3>Google Voids YOUR Copyright</h3>
<p>Why do I get enraged by this sort of activity? I remember when one of my sites was voted against, and Google paid someone to steal it and wrap it in AdSense. The person who stole my content outranked me for my own content because a Google engineer thought that was reasonable and fair.</p>

<p>To this day someone publishes You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, a site dedicated to stealing and sharing an old version of my ebook. As You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login</p>
www.seobook.com very famous book from Aaron Wall its really good but paying $79 its really sucks so yesterday, I think why not to share this book to my friends etc openly in text by decompling Acrobat files

<p>Can a casual mention get it removed? Nope. Can flagging it as spam and highlighting that it is stolen copyright content get it removed? Nope. I need to file a DMCA request to get it removed. (Or maybe they will remove it out of embarrassment after I hit publish on this post...we shall see!) </p>

<h3>Google Pays Thieves</h3>
<p>Google doesn't like You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p> <!--break-->
