Being able to compare a lot of options and filter down to just a handful that interest you is very valuable. It handles discovery and filtering steps in one go.

Being able to compare a lot of options and filter down to just a handful that interest you is very valuable. It handles discovery and filtering steps in one go. There's your value-add.
You're asking for consumers to make significant decisions in what to them will feel like a position of ignorance. And you're asking for it because you think it will be profitable for you. Do you understand why I'm skeptical of this?
- AJ007 12y agoI don't think anyone is saying aggregators should not show up. Do a search for a local hotel. I just did one. I counted 3 aggregator ads above organic results. 6 aggregator ads on the side, 2 other hotel ads on the side. Organic listing #1 is the hotel, that is good. 7 other results are aggregators. 1 is the hotel parent company, 1 is an unrelated hotel. What happens if you are a niche travel site, or a local blog? Your not going to rank. Your business model is now more or less dead.
- Kalium 12y agoI don't see the problem with that. Not all niche business models should be assumed to be indefinitely viable.
