Knol is a website of Google. It is an article publishing platform with more focus on academic articles. But, Knol is an open platform and articles on entertainment as well as shopping can be posted on it and there is a welcome sign for it, as they are included in homepage categories. There was a feeling in social media that Knol is a failed product. But is it a failed product? What are the facts.
According to http://www.quantcast.com/knol.google.com 251.2 K US monthly people visit Knol. It is a good number. Because to get global numbers, you have to multiply it by 10 as Knol is getting visitors from all the countries in the world and it has articles in many languages of the world. It means 2.5 million global monthly people. It is a respectable number.
Based on the top 1000 web sites released by Google, many websites are stating that top 1000 website requires 4.1 million unique visitors per month.
Is knol getting 4.1 million visitors already?
The knol portfolio of a top author is getting 47,111 unique absolute visitors per month. Assume it is one percent of visitors to Knol (There are thousands of authors on Knol and more than 600,000 articles). Knol may be getting 4,711, 100 visitors per month. More than 4.1 million unique visitors per month. Knol might have already earned top 1000 rank in one dimension.
