This study represents an initial empirical test of a new construct--attitude toward on-line advertising format (Aformat). An on-line survey was used to examine both antecedents and consequences of Aformat for each of six on-line ad formats (e.g., pop-ups, banners, skyscrapers). Regression analyses revealed Aformatto be significantly related to attitude toward the ad (Aad) for all formats. Furthermore, Aformat was significantly related to self-reported on-line ad behaviors such as clickthrough. Overall, the results strongly suggest that the nature of the on-line ad format is an important characteristic that influences on-line advertising response.
