Filed in: Malaysia, SEO Beginner, Web — January 30th, 2008

You text ads can have up to 5 words and link to your website. It is a direct text link. *grin* Furthermore, the text ads are shown at almost EVERY pages of the website. That is a great exposure!


The New Straits Times Online is a Malaysia news portal with Google PageRank 7 out of 10. It is a high ranking! So far, no PR8 website found in Malaysia yet.

As we know, Google dislike paid text links that will influence the search engine page results.

We don’t know whether Google will de-rank The New Straits Times Online or not, but I don’t think they will care about it. The website’s traffic does not depends on search engines.

Perhaps I should put my text ads too and see what I get. ;)

    150 is quite reasonable for one of the major papers in Malaysia. but risking it for Google…hmm. That needs some serious thought.

    Is there any website that can check your page rank other than installing the Google tool bar?

    RM150 per week is abit too expensive.

    Agreed with Marco on pricing, but i believe they are not targeting small potatoes like us, they must be aiming the big fish out there.
