The Internet is a cluttered mess of content, and we can all agree that's putting it mildly. It is such an enormous, intertwining web of information and multimedia that we must rely on search engines (such as Google) to even begin to find content of interest to us.
Imagine the world today without search engines and what a frustrating affair that would be. Only the major sites such as Youtube or Myspace would win popularity enough to attract hordes of users and gain substantial name recognition, while the vast majority of sites (many of them small or independent) would scarcely be found - if at all. Most of the truly helpful and informative sites would be virtually unreachable without search engines. How would you find a job you really want online if you couldn't search for it? What about car parts and repair services? The only way these sites would be discovered without search engines would be if they convinced the major/popular websites to link to them or if they engaged in expensive advertising campaigns.
It's safe to say that without search engines the Internet would not be nearly so accessible or easy to navigate as it is today.
As large and expansive as the internet is, the amount of webspace dedicated to free online classified ads is strikingly extensive. A simple Google search for free classified ads yields an overwhelming and seemingly boundless number of responses, each from a different site dedicated to classified ad services. To compound the issue further each site is typically dedicated to one or more categories (the most common being jobs, homes, rentals, cars, etc.). The classifieds sector of the Internet is a sweeping and competitive arena packed with independent websites, it's akin to a vast spiderweb stuffed with far too many flies for anyone to digest.
Then there are the well known, major classified sources (like Craigslist, Monster, Cars.com, etc.) and none of them are interconnected, so you're forced to browse each of them individually if you want to discover a wider sample for the ads for your area - and even then there's no way to go through all the classified sources and find all the options for what you're looking for. You have to pick and choose from certain sources and, in the process, may be missing out on some great deals, but that's the nature of the beast - it's just impossible to look through all the classified websites quickly.
To avoid the confusing array of websites, most people simply stick with the known, major classified sources: places that should ring familiar, sites like Craigslist.org, Monster.com, and Cars.com.
Unfortunately none of these are connected or interwoven, and so you're forced to browse each site individually if you'd like to find a wider range of ads in your area. Even then you still are confined to what the major sites have, regulated to picking from certain sources. There's no easy way to find all the options available online.
Or, at least that's how it used to be.
Introducing the classified ads search engine: The optimal means to index and search for free online classifieds. The concept is simple, it's a search engine but instead of scanning through the entire Internet it searches through the varying classified directories and websites. It brings you as many listings as it can find for your area, and allows you to narrow your search to find whatever sort of job or home you're looking for across all the different classified websites in one interface.
The beauty of this concept is that you no longer have to keep switching between the different classified websites and, if you're looking for a certain item, job, car or home, you can simply search them all at once!
One of the most promising newcomers in this field is GoSasa.com. GoSasa allows its users to search for anything they need through more than 52,000 classified sources (both national and local). Rather than merely looking at Craigslist, and then Ebay and then one or two others, users can search Craigslist, Ebay, and all the others in one click and the results are retrieved in real time. GoSasa further provides its users with an in-depth statistical analysis of their search results with its "SasaIndex" feature.
SasaIndex compiles relevant statistical data for each classified listing it encounters, allowing the user to compare and contrast deals within nearby metro areas of his/her own location or within the rest of the state of major U.S. Metro areas. For someone looking for the cheapest rent in the San Diego area for example, he/she would be given an easily accessible chart listing the different rent prices within the cities of San Diego. One might find that the nearby La Mesa area offers cheaper rent than Downtown San Diego while being only a couple of miles away. This tool is particularly helpful for those looking to make informed decisions.
What this essentially means is that it's no longer necessary to flounder about in a maze of classified websites, to discover thousands of different websites through a simple google search, to wonder which to click on, which to gamble on, and which site may have the results you really want. What this means is that gone are the days of uncertainty and hours of painstaking searching. What this means is that now there is an alternative means to find the precise classified ads that you want, to find all the relevant ads for your search from thousands of different sources all in one, and that means is the classified ad search engine.
Happy hunting.
