study are taken from the situation, where the involvement of the consumers is
high. Three categories of the keywords were taken to specify certain
advertising messages. To measure an effect on CTR made by the search ads ranks
and type of advertising messages, the grouping of ads was done by ads ranks and
message types. The data for this study has been collected in a series of
events, like consumers are taken, who visit the portal site. Then the server of
the company is used, where the ad is exposed to the consumer, so consumer
clicks on the ad of Company S, and directed to the website of the company,
where the consumer searches for the desired information. After collecting and
analyzing data in this manner, the data was extracted so that statistical
analysis can be conducted. The serve data of weblog analysis for the company
was extracted by the Company S. The method used for the quantitative
statistical analysis is 2-Sample-t. To measure differences in the data, the

there is any intent regarding the analysis of advertising effectiveness. The
research also helped to verify that highly involved users are more conscious of
the type of messages being presented in the ads as compared to the ads’ ranks.
