*: Figures in the table show percentages.<br />

The findings however, show somewhat difference between male (60.0%) and female (48.3%)<br />

and between postgraduate (46.7%) and undergraduate (61.7%) student’s perceptions that pop-up ads<br />

very <strong>of</strong>ten displayed on a web page show. The result regarding frequency <strong>of</strong> superstitial ads displayed<br />

on a web page illustrate no significant difference and almost all the users believe that the same is more<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten displayed on web page. Results (table 1.3) regarding the frequency <strong>of</strong> floating ads, displayed on a<br />

web page depict the same position but here only the postgraduates (50.0%) are some what more <strong>of</strong> the<br />

view that floating ads <strong>of</strong>ten displayed on web page than the undergraduates (28.3%).<br />

The empirical findings shown by table 1.4 regarding the liking <strong>of</strong> Internet banner<br />

advertisements reveal that most <strong>of</strong> the users like very much the banner ads but little difference is<br />

observed between the students <strong>of</strong> natural sciences (45.8%) and student social sciences (58.2%), and<br />

post graduates (48.3%) and under graduates (58.4%). Whereas, response about mini-windows liking<br />

illustrate all the users equally some what like the same, it is observed that students <strong>of</strong> natural sciences<br />

significantly (60.4%) some what like mini-windows ad compared to other sub groups <strong>of</strong> the study.
