I had a pleasant surprise in our inbox this morning, a notification from the blog service Feedspot that Cigar Informer had been named to their Top 100 Cigar Blogs list. This was surprising to me because I haven’t been the greatest at keeping up with blogging on Cigar Informer in the last couple years, even with grand plans and a series of different recurring features, the truth is life has gotten in the way multiple times of my cigar passion, and while finding the time to enjoy a great cigar has been difficult enough, keeping up with writing engaging content for the blog has been nearly impossible. So, it is a great honor that my efforts, while minimal in the last year, have been recognized by a service such as Feedspot.

What is Feedspot?

Feedspot is a content curation platform that helps users discover and track their favorite blogs, websites, YouTube channels, and podcasts in one place. It serves as an all-in-one content reader, allowing users to stay updated on topics of interest without having to visit multiple sites individually. Feedspot aggregates content from thousands of sources, making it easier for readers to access fresh and relevant information on a variety of subjects.

Beyond content aggregation, Feedspot also provides valuable resources for content creators, bloggers, and businesses by ranking and categorizing blogs based on quality, influence, and engagement. Their curated lists of top blogs across different industries and niches serve as a trusted guide for readers seeking reliable sources of information.

For clarification, Cigar Informer is not a subscriber of Feedspot’s services, which was what made the announcement of being named to their Top 100 Cigar Blogs even more surprising.

The Significance of Being Named to a Feedspot Top Blog List

For bloggers, being named to one of Feedspot’s top blog lists is a significant achievement. These lists are compiled based on various criteria, including content quality, engagement levels, social media presence, and domain authority. The selection process ensures that only reputable, informative, and influential blogs are featured.

Achieving a spot on a Feedspot ranking can serve as a major milestone for bloggers looking to establish themselves as industry leaders. It not only provides recognition but also serves as a trust signal to potential readers and business partners. Many organizations and professionals rely on Feedspot’s curated lists to find reliable sources of information, making it a valuable endorsement for any blog.

Furthermore, the inclusion in a top blog list often leads to increased organic traffic, social media engagement, and long-term audience growth. It reinforces a blogger’s credibility and can attract potential monetization opportunities, whether through sponsorships, affiliate marketing, or brand partnerships.

The benefits of being named to this Top 100 Cigar Blogs list seem incredible, and it encourages me to double down my efforts toward this passion project and maybe increase our ranking on the list.

Thank you to Feedspot for recognizing Cigar Informer and thank you to all our readers that have continued to show support. I am personally making it my mission in 2025 to make this the best year yet for Cigar Informer.
