Adverts???
« on: September 13, 2016, 09:09:39 AM »
This morning I had an email from Tapatalk advising that they had sent me $5 by PayPal as part of the monetization of the site.

I don't remember ever setting this up and would certainly have disable ads if I had known.

I don't get ads on Tapatalk though. Does anyone else?

Has anyone ever clicked on a link that took them to a commercial site?

Before I turn it off, I'd like to understand how I have managed to "earn" $5  :)

Steve. I use Tapatalk pretty much exclusively to view the forum on my iPhone. I get the ads, but they're very unobtrusive and don't bother me in the slightest. If you're getting a small kick-back then I don't see any reason to disable them. ? See attached image of what I get - normally just a small ad at the bottom of the thread you're viewing at the time.

Forgive my ignorance but what is Tapatalk?

It's an iPhone / Android app that makes it easy to view multiple forums on your mobile device Ash. It's brilliant - also makes it very easy to upload images directly from your phone. Happy to walk you through setting it up.

Forgive my ignorance but what is monetization, is that supposed to be an English word?
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

An iPhone is what I use to access the forum.
