What's up with these 'promoted posts' from Tapatalk?
Does anyone WANT these?
As far as I know, we are. NOT getting paid for them (like they say).

Whoever setup your Tapatalk account should have received this e-mail a few weeks ago...
Monetization for Forum Owners – Tapatalk to begin testing ad formats
Dear Forum Owners,
We are excited to announce that Tapatalk is going to begin testing a free version of Tapatalk and in-app ads as a way to help you make money from mobile traffic.
Moving from a paid app to a free app
We recently started to offer the Tapatalk app for free for iOS devices. Since we began to test the free version, we are very happy to report a significant increase in downloads.
Testing ad formats
In the next few days, we will begin to test ad formats on Tapatalk. The ad formats will be integrated within topics, and there will be three formats; banner ads, app installs, and “Promoted Topics” (similar to Facebook’s Promoted Stories).
During this initial phase, we will be testing technical integrations. The frequency of ads will be very low, and many of your users may never see an ad.
You can view screen shots of the ad formats here
After the test
We expect the test phase to run 30-90 days. At the end of test, we will have a good understanding of the performance of the various ad formats. We will also determine the revenue model, and we will retroactively share the ad revenue from the test period with you.
We are excited about helping you earn money from users accessing your forum through Tapatalk. Over the next few weeks, we will provide you updates on the test and will monitor and respond to feedback on the Tapatalk Engagement and Monetization support forum.
If you prefer that your Forum not participate in the pilot, please email me at eric@tapatalk.com

Teresa, I believe Dave is the one who set up Tapatalk, so he will need to fix it... Also, for what it's worth, there are no ads on the paid version of Tapatalk (was callled Tapatalk 2, now it's called Tapatalk Pro), only the "free" version, which some people paid for in the past (like me)..

and me too (paid for the ap)
I guess if these posts aren't really going into the forum, it's no big deal.
Thank you both for your responses!

I typically do not let third party entities use my content for free. The only reason I started using Tapatalk on my forum a couple of years ago was for users that would like to have a mobile app version of the site as an option. I like that they are implementing this, especially now that they are gonna start paying me to use my content!
