I am probably a poor example, but I can say with certainty I have never purchased anything as a result of exposure to an internet advertisement.

I am equally certain I have been moved by television and print advertisements, at least in the past, and some of those effects linger in current purchases.

I find internet advertising intrusive and annoying, and those they seem to think are targeted to me the most annoying of all.
