What is the average ROI on advertising by using google AdSense et. al?

Advertising is an assumed cost of business for any medium to large company these days, but I feel there's a growing silent minority who slowly believe, slowly know, that advertising in the online space is unfeasible for a majority of products. Advertisers like google make so much money because online advertising is one of those things that is super easy to keep throwing more money at. I wonder how many companies would benefit from entirely ditching online advertising and pursue alternate methods like direct outreach or sponsored content.

We might see 4,000-10,000 advertisements a day[1]. Do you remember two advertisements you saw today? Mere-exposure effect is the only thing going for it. Which may be fine if you're Coca-Cola, not so much if you run an online clothing store.
