Back when I used a static website...before WordPress...I used Constant Contact and later migrated to Aweber..which I still find cumbersome, repetitive, and time consuming. I do think it's worth using email marketing when you're looking at building a separate list for marketing courses or products, but for most bloggers who are trying to build reader traffic the ease of RSS and email subscriptions clearly overpower email marketing processes. Chris,

Some only had a few hundred, some had a few thousand, but the key was segmenting those lists into subscribers that "purchase" items or in some other way represent the relationship they have with you. It's actually not much different from the old email marketing practices in place since the late 90's. I guess sometimes we take our eye off the ball when blogging for page views, ad sales, and DIGG. ;-) Great article. Thanks!
