Yesterday, I wrote an article titled Make Money Blogging With Google Knol.  While I believe that Google Knol could be a great way for bloggers to make money blogging, I am also disturbed by Google getting into the business of content publishing.

Google has always stated that its mission is to make it easier to find information published on the Internet.  However, Google Knol now has them creating the Internet’s content.  This disturbs me because of Google’s dominance in the search business.

I think that Google is a great search engine.  I truly believe that until now, it has always tried to make sure that people find the most relevant content that they are searching for.  However, with Google getting into the content creation business, Google is now motivated to promote its own sites.  This is might not be good for bloggers who are trying to write great content for google search users.

While many might say that Google’s purchase of Blogger already put them in the business of content publishing, I believe that Google Knol is completely different.  Google’s Blogger platform allows bloggers to create their own blogs.  Google’s knol will be Google content.  Sure the author will be credited for the article, but it will still be Google’s Knol.
