The purpose of this study is to understand the attributes of the Internet as a marketing
communication media and to analyze the efficiency of Internet advertising. This study analyzes
the demographic description of current Internet users, their usage types, attitudes towards
Internet advertising. It also highlights media efficiency by types of products advertised and
the correlation between the types of users and the types of Internet banner advertising these
users respond to.
The findings of this study reveal that the content of Internet advertising should, first and
foremost, be fun in addition to being physically and logically well designed in order to make
people click on these types of ads. High involvement products such as automobiles and luxury
watches are more suitable for Internet advertising than low involvement products. People pay
more attention to animation and promotion ('give-away') type Internet advertising than
traditional print and information type advertising. In general, people who appreciate humorous
types of advertising show negative reactions to traditional print and information types of
Internet advertising. On the other hand, people who said they generally trust the .contents
of corporate homepages show positive reactions to the traditional print and information types
of Internet advertising.
