Over the past five years I have possibly clicked on about ten contextual advertisement, mostly for my own amusement (e.g., seeing how relevant the ad was). The only online advertisements that were even close to being effective on me were the ads for Bing, Evony, and Mail-Chimp (I like the latter's 60s-esque "lets get social" ad).
Of course, advertising on the internet works on some demographics, but what about the HN demographic? What types of advertisements have worked on you? And why? What are some important principles regarding advertising to the more learned crowd?
