Everyone that does search on the various search engines knows that it requires sifting through a big number of material to arrive at those that have relevance to the search conducted. Here is the paradox: it is a known fact that getting to the top heap of the search engine result takes a lot, which means, a web site will have to meet all the requirements search engines have put in place. But seen from what are in the top search results, most of the time, there is no guarantee of getting what is searched without going through a big number of unnecessary material, for the most part, where most of them could be outdated. But there are always exceptions and it depends on what one is looking for.

RSS is totally different, because all that is required is to inform an aggregator what exactly to look for, and where to look for it, or even a simple blanket instruction made up of keywords is enough. The material, without doing anything else will arrive on a daily basis to the applicant's feed, and all that is required to do is check the feeds according to a given schedule. By simply doing that searchers save a lot of valuable time and aggravation, because no matter how people are appreciative of what the search engines are doing, they have certain anomalies that should be surpassed, and this is one of them; namely getting exactly what is being searched in a given amount of time.

Nevertheless, it depends on what people are doing with the search engines. If someone is buying a product, he or she is better off to put what he or she is looking for in the search engine box, because buying a product is clear-cut. As well, since there are a given number of sellers carrying the same product, encountering a good number of these vendors on the first page is possible. It all depends on the terms used, like using the term "buy" or "on sale" or "for sale" could bring the best suited vendors, yet there is no absolute guarantee.

Takeaways
  • It's always possible to encounter a lot of material before finding what is looked for.
  • That's why RSS could make a difference for those who use it, whose number might not be high yet
  • Posting material on a blog that could be aggregated almost instantly makes number on search engines
