Who is surprised that Google’s new Knol answers system is ranked well, with some results taking the top of the keyword ranks?  Though it’s another great reason to use Google Knol to write articles linking back to your website, it’s a shame that Google would break it’s algorithms to make it’s own services worth much more, though when haven’t they done something like this?

There’s been talks about bloggers abandoning Adsense out of protest, but how much can you really fight the one place that gives you money and traffic?  It seems that Google, the top dog, can play by it’s own rules.

Often when it comes to duplicate content, SEO Book found that by actually copying his articles entirely and then posting them to Google Knol, the Knol results were ranked better.

The fact of the matter is, Google favors it’s own inhouse content better.  Strategy?  Rather than complaing, use the system to your advantage.  Use Google Knol and link back to your site.
