Due to the complexity of the international market, very often advertisers have to tailor their ads to reflect local cultures for more effective persuasion (e.g., Chan & Cheng, 2002; Taylor, Miracle & Chang, 1994). An important stream of research has been done to examine various message strategies and cultural values in advertising in different countries, mostly focusing on magazine and television advertising (e.g., Lin, 2001; Zhang & Harwood, 2004). Recently, researchers have begun to give more attention to online advertising, the newest and fastest growing advertising form.
