Home Treatment For Colic Search Engines Can't Discern As Truth

Why do I blame the Search Engines partly for babies still crying for a colic cure?

Baby colic causes babies to cry for hours and soon causes distress for the parents too. Many of them soon learn what the problem is and then go to their computer and use a search engine hoping to get good advice on a home treatment for colic.

If you think about it you'll soon see we all make this mistake and place a lot of trust in search engines when wanting to find a cure for baby's colic or find an answer to something else.

When we need information, baby or not, colic or not, whether it's for a personal problem, or because we need to write an article for publishing on a website, what do we do?

We use the search engines! And a lot of us 'Google' it. We do it so much that the word Google has become a verb! We tell friends who have questions to 'Google' it. Need a home treatment for colic? Anyone could guess what you'll do.

Anyway, we use our favourite search engines and in seconds we're presented with results, showing us what others have written on our subject of interest. In thousands of cases, the subject of interest has been an effective home treatment for colic.

There's a snag with this I should have thought of earlier...It's just software! All of those search engines we use are nothing but software. Websites, articles and blogs are shown, chosen by the search software for their relevant keywords.

Because the search engines are only software, they have no ability to judge whether an item is true. They have no way of knowing that.

Some search results shown are from stuff written years ago. Not being present day stuff means it might easily be not true anymore, even if it once was. Events unknown to the writers of these earlier articles might indicate that the truth lies elsewhere, which seems to be what has happened with a baby colic cure.

It's disconcerting. People don't always notice the date but they do expect up-to-date information especially on something as important as a colic remedy.

Now this is happening: People who have to write about baby's colic or indeed any other subject, think they need to know more before starting to write. So they search online to see what's been written before!

Next, having read up on their subject, they use what they just learned to fill out their new piece of writing (taking care to change the words around and not to plagiarse.) In this way they make themselves seem to be an expert, which is not really true. This isn't the absolute best situation for babies suffering from colic or the bleary-eyed parents trying to glean some facts.

Because of this, babies still have colic and people searching for help on other health issues can be misled by these happenings. It's caused by inaccuracies and mistakes being repeated by article writers and then repeatedly shown in the search results by those engines we trust too much!

All the time the situation gets a bit worse because people are continually writing in blogs or writing content for their own website and they're including the well established but not correct statements they've read on other websites. There are many thousands of sites where the subject of babies and colic is covered.

Even if a statement is wrong, if it's in print and if it's repeated often enough, folk do start to believe it and it becomes accepted as truth. Which is unfortunate for colicky babies and their parents.

One day a woman comes along and writes what she knows to be true, from experience, not just an opinion, but the facts about the cure for baby colic. What would be the result of that? If her keywords are picked up by the search engines her website might even be on page one.

But, when her website does show up in the results, she is surrounded by nay sayers, the websites who state the opposite of what she is saying. Thus doubt must creep in for the reader. The same thing must have happened to others who offered their knowledge online.

So, to some extent, search engines are to blame for some of life's ills, including babies continuing to cry with colic.
