Well since I've seen this hasn't really been addressed, I will... even before you could have banners in the app- the new iphone version now supports a small banner- I chose to implement this as a service to my loyal members. The vast majority still will visit via their web browser, but when they are on the go I would rather have their traffic- viewing and posting- then nothing at all and this app seriously helps to increase participation from Mobile users, so that is why I'm willing to let someone else make a little money- I don't think I'm "losing" money because likely the users wouldn't come at all without tapatalk- it doesn't really cost me anything to implement so there's no downside. Also half the users block ads with firefox and other add-on's anyways these days so again not having ads in tapatalk isn't a big deal. I bring in far more from offering an inexpensive premium subscription option then I ever make from google ads or banner sales anyway. I also offer a mobile 'style' for those who don't want to pay for tapatalk or windows mobile / palm os users who don't have tapaptalk, but anyone who used both always prefer tapatalk.
