(Maybe this type of post is not for hacker news since it is pure discussion).<p>Knol.<p>Does Google promise that their search results are always sorted by relevance or would it be ok to list Knol - entries as top results without them actually being so?<p>I guess since they obv know how to SEO to their own algorhitm they can make Knol have a high PageRank and I guess that would be fine.<p>Is there anywhere you can read about their stance on this?
Is it independently verified or something(I guess not)?
So far Wikipedia has been beating Knol out on a number of search results, INCLUDING Knol. Seeing sponsored results on the results page, I'm not excluding it from thought, but I'm not saying the pages wont get better rankings later in time.
