To understand click-through behavior,
the effectiveness of banner ad size, involvement, and
time cost on brand attitude and click-through was investigated
in two computer-based experiment. Two 2 x 2 between
subjects factorial designs employing 122 student participants
was used to test specific hypotheses. Surprisingly,
the results indicated that small banner ads were more
effective in affecting brand attitude than large banner
ads. Banner ad size, however, did not affect click-through.
As expected, viewers' involvement and time cost affected
click-through. Implications for generating attitudes
versus click-through are discussed.
