When Sam first puts on the Ring as he hears the Orcs coming after leaving Frodo's presumably dead body-

Wouldn't Sauron know the Ring was being used, and so close to him? Why didn't minions upon minions come onto the area in which Sam used the Ring? I don't truly understand how it is only before Cirith Ungol he realizes he can't use the Ring because the Dark Lord would see him.
