[QUOTE="beardie, post: 1659809, member: 3"] Jon, I looked into this. When I setup a Tapatalk test, I looked through it. What I realized is that there's no way to put Google Adsense ads on it. So, I wondered... why would sites do this since it would eat away at their revenue source. I did some Google searching, and indeed this is a serious problem for sites deciding to switch over to support Tapatalk. It's great for increasing traffic on smaller sites, but as users switch away to use Tapatalk, the website owner loses all revenue from that traffic. Tapatalk responded to a discussion about it on their own forums, but their reply really came across to me as "these are not the revenue problems you are looking for" (Star Wars reference... sorry.. I'm an old geek). Basically, they said that Tapatalk drives up visitors because it stimulates responses. Sure, that makes sense for very small sites just starting... or sites that are so huge, Tapatalk traffic is insignificant, but as many medium/large sized website owners pointed out, if you have a good level of responses and visitors on your site, revenues just seem to go down. This means... the costs to run the site start to outweigh the money the site makes. That would mean the end of the site! I will have to pass on supporting Tapatalk until they actually show revenue options for website owners that make sense. From what I can tell, their only value comes from the websites choosing to support them, and they give nothing back. And the options they suggest doesn't seem to do much for those who have tried. What I CAN do, however.... I will be looking into the next version of phpBB, which supposedly has a much better support for mobile. I will also be looking at making larger customizations to the forum templates. I have recently done a bunch of work lately to making dynamic page designs for the non-forum parts of the site (the stuff I developed from scratch, and thus have more control over). A post just a little before this one, from me, links to another topic regarding that, with links to the demo pages. I am really hoping that this will start to improve the mobile experience. I will take what I learned from that redesign work, and see how I can best apply it to the forums myself as well. I am hopeful mobile support (smart phones or tablets) will be improved... one way or another. :) [/QUOTE]
