Turbolags Very Own Thread to Discuss His Business Venture

It's more like he's using this, and probably other sites to drive traffic to his.

I've always wondered this when it crops up "Beginners tips for cigar smoking" I mean, what's so complicated about smoking? Maybe you start out biting the end off or something? If you go to a lounge, you're going to observe what others do anyway. Lighting a cigar? Pretty complicated. Smoking without inhaling. Rocket Science! I totally wish I had a beginners guide when I had my first half smoked El Producto in Boy Scouts. Maybe at 11yrs old, I was a natural. Perhaps an old relatives spirit was within me, guiding me through the mystery of smoking.

All that said, I think the only purpose for those sites is to make money (eventually.)

I agree with you. I don't really feel comfortable doing it. BUT I really wanted to try and give it a shot. I've watched reviews and read and really wanted to try to do my own thing. I don't know if it will work or not. I definitely know I have a lot to learn and am trying to learn as much as I can so I can share with others. I would like to make money with my site, but I also would like to help people enjoy the hobby. I've had help getting in to it and learning from others and I would like to share what I have learned.

Bingo, you post links in your articles to get traffic to your site. I would love to be able to monetize my site. But I really don't know if it will work out or not. I love the cigar and pipe hobby and love learning. I would like to share what I learn with other new comers so they can enjoy the hobby and not get frustrated. So please, if you see something wrong, let me know and I'll change it.

I really don't like the idea of advertising like that. But I'm following a program to help build my site and one of the sections is about joining a website and sharing your info. This is a huge adjustment for me. I'm not really sure if its gonna work or not. We'll see.

Here's the problem the way I see it, Turbolag:

We don't know you. You don't know us. Are you just here to promote your site? Sofar, it seems so. Let me ask you this, would you print 500 little election signs with the http: to your site and go around town planting them in people's yards? Would you maybe ask people if you could put one there? Maybe your friends would plant one in their yard for you. Maybe you could put one at the grocery store classified corkboard. But we're not any of those things.

Ya know, I think we have a nice community here to help new people out with questions about cigar smoking. Maybe I don't want to see traffic diverted to your site.
