It will allow editors to place Adsense advertisers on their content and Google will share the revenue with them.
At first, Google won’t verify the content introduced on Knol and so, as the company announced, everybody is free to publish whatever he/she wants.

The good and interesting part is that Knol offers visitors the possibility to leave reviews and comments for each article, and so there will be a ranking of the results on Google.
Knol is still in tests and we can’t wait to hear news about it soon.
