List of Fastest Rising Knol Authors

English Knol Project Meta-Knol Portal (Knols about Knol itself) List of Fastest Rising Knol Authors (you are here)

This Knol should be cited as:

This article will answer the question: "Starting with the List of Top Viewed Knol Authors, which of those authors is generating the highest current pageviews ?"

The current list of the authors with the most pageviews, sorted by pageviews can be seen at this interactive link: Top Viewed Authors : A list of the top viewed authors on Knol.  This however does not allow us to see how these authors become more or less popular over time.  And it does not allow us to spot authors who might be abusing the pageviews metric, for example by using robots.  For that purpose I have created a table below where we can examine the week-by-week changes in the authors and their pageview numbers.
