And it seems like marketers all over are already seeing their websites drop significantly in the rankings. There’s already large and growing threads in many of the popular marketing forums where folks are sharing how far their website rankings have fell!

I just thought I would take this opportunity to show you yet another reason why I believe so strongly in building your own subscriber list.

This protects your business from being at the mercy of the search engines. So whether you are using SEO, safelist, traffic exchanges, paid advertising, or any other type of traffic generation method, please don’t put all that work to waste!

You never know when that website you’re promoting might go out of business, making your affiliate links pointless. You never know when an owner might just stop paying out commissions (has happened to me a few times and lots of other marketers!). And you never know when your top ranking website might suddenly stop receiving any traffic at all.

Build a customer list that you can bring with you wherever your business takes you.

For building a subscriber list, I like Aweber.

If you need some tools to start you on the way to building your own mailing list, try out my very cool list building and traffic system, List Recon.

Have you been affected by this change or know someone who has? Have a story or comment you want to share? We would love to hear from you!

State Of The Art Mailer, one of my favorite viral list builders has just released a new part of their advertising system that is completely unique and powerful on many different levels.

=> Can’t wait? Go here now:

On top of an already high-converting viral mailer, they now have “Time-Bonus Ads”! It empowers you to more traffic and potential sales:

* Advertise your banners on hundreds of websites, including many incredibly popular programs

* Benefit from natural search engine traffic by getting your site listed on their ranking page. You get a backlink, and tons of possible customers visiting the page. Yes – real people actually looking at the page and potentially buying from you!

* Place their Time-Bonus Ads widget on your own website for autopilot referrals and commissions, plus boost your ranking!

* Even if you don’t have a lot of traffic, you can just advertise their Time-Bonus Splash page to increase your ranking and GET more traffic

* And of course, that’s all on top of an already great mailer. =)
