It seems that Dr. Mahathir is here for the making money online blogging business as well. For those who don’t know, Dr. Mahathir is our Ex Prime Minister for Malaysia. The very first time I notice it, I quickly email them to enquire for the rate because I am interested to advertise my Malaysia Classifieds if I could get a great deal due to target traffic and perfect for this kind of website. Unfortunately, It is too expensive and I could not afford it at all. If you are interested to know here are the rates:-

• Side Box – 170px x 200px – RM5,000/month
• Top Banner – 728px x 90px – RM12,000/month

I did not ask for the inside page banner as I did not quite like the position, therefore I got no price on that. The placement is not bad and it is quite visible as you can see below.

 But you also have to read the terms of their advertisements as follows:-

• Discounts available for advertising periods of one month & above.
• All advertising positions are on rotating basis with a maximum of 5 ads. 
• Rates quoted above are on a per banner/day basis, minimum of 7 days. 
• For banner designs, a fee of RM70 per design will be charged. Design fees will be waived for advertising campaigns of above RM2500.
• Ads in Top Banner & Tower Box positions will appear in the Main Page & Inside Page .

Did you read fine print that says rotating basis of 5 ads max. From my calculation without the inside banner, our beloved Dr. Mahathir will be potentially earn upto RM185,000/month (approx USD51,000/month), and this is not including the inside page banner. I am quite sure this is the most succesful problogger in the shortest amount of time.

Also, I find it weird that he is using the domain of .co.cc rather than his original Chedet.com. Co.cc domain is used by affiliate markerter because when you refer someone to co.cc and they bought something, you will actually get 40% commission.

Next thing you know, you will see Dr. Mahathir blog becoming a make money online blog.
