I Reached the end of Cigars On the Internet
StumbleUpon has turned out to be fun and educational… mostly.
With StumbleUpon you can click a button and be immediately whisked off to another site, post, picture, video, or news item. You can even pick your category and one night I decided to pick the category “cigars.”
I was directed to some review sites but I have already seen all of those so I didn’t get to see anything new there. I did, however, get introduced to a bunch of retailers. That wasn’t fun or necessary. Not really a good marketing strategy if you ask me. It doesn’t hurt either since it is free to Stumble a site but the conversion rate must be astronomically low.
Anyways, what else did I see? There were a few sites about cigarettes, which AREN’T CIGARS!!! Come on people, they have nothing in common. Stumble correctly.
There was a picture of a smoke cloud but I doubt it came from a cigar. And then it happened. I reached the end of the cigar universe according to StumbleUpon.
How is that even possible? There are dozens of sites that are dedicated to reviewing cigars not to mention all the message boards, cigar maker sites, and retailers. There are instructional videos on YouTube and pictures of people smoking cigars all over the place.
That is why I’m going to start Stumbling every cigar page I like. It just does not make sense to me that you can literally get to the end of the cigar-related Internet in the matter of an hour. It’s a travesty!
From this day on, if you put up a good review, post a great video, or make me laugh about something related to cigars you will be Stumbled by me (that’s a good thing just in case you are still a little fuzzy on exactly what StumbleUpon is). And you should also sign up for StumbleUpon and start spreading the word about your favorite cigar-related sites.

One day a story on my site got several thousand hits one day out of the blue. I did a little research and Stumble featured it somehow and bang zoom!

Zman,
That’s an awesome story and I want that kind of attention for all the great cigar bloggers out there. We all enjoy a wonderful pastime and work hard to put more information about cigars out there. Hopefully your experience with StumbleUpon will be repeated for all cigar bloggers.
