Yes, that's very different than mine! I suspect many of your users are "phone only" internet people.
Yes it is.
Most of us including me always browse using Phone.
And most browser use is OperaMini and UCWeb.
Which ads don't load and style is mostly broken :(
 
Here is mine. As you can see, the smaller phones (320 x 480) are a very small percentage!
My visitors are mostly US and Canada, which have a high penetration of higher resolution devices.

At least yours are using the web version. I still can't convince most of my phone users to stop using TapaTalk :(
 
I wish we didn't have it, as it doesn't even allow you to track the users with analytics, so I'm missing out of page visit stats, and add-revenue because of it.

Tapatalk is only good for private forum who doesn't need an advertisement revenue.
Sad thing for you.
Convince them to try responsive view.
 
Tried it, but they aren't interested. I'd rather have them posting than going somewhere else, so that's why it will have to stay enabled :(
 
well its your forum, and if you decide to say good bye to tapatalk for a good reason then people should respect your decision.

We have done the same last year and yes there are a few persons shouting, but they will voice their opinion on any change you make anyway.

If disabling tapatalk is the best for your forum, go for it.
 
True. At the minute....it's working. If they break it again on the next release, it's going bye bye
 
Over the past weeks it has risen slightly - now only -26%; hopefully the trend will continue. (y)

It'll be good when they expand it to include reporting on different banner sizes served, but from an ad position perspective my in-content ad (shown in second post) is the one that has dropped the most (-68%).
 
That's pretty scary, especially as we're still to upgrade to 1.2.x and rely very heavily on Adsense. :eek:

You don't necessarily have to change your ads or use responsive - but I took the decision to give my members the best experience and at the same time take a punt on the new beta ad-code (since it was easier to apply to my templates than multi-ad CSS [across four ad slots on eight sites that was a lot of time saved!!]). ;)

You often get a dip/slow start when you introduce a new ad unit anyway, but in moving to the responsive beta code I changed all of my ad slots in one go. Out went the 32 fixed-size ad slots (728x90 + 300x250 - two of the highest earning sizes) and in came a new 32 responsive units (with a good percentage of smaller [lower earning] ad sizes).

It was bound to have a knock-on effect; I just didn't expect it to be so, erm ... dramatic. :eek:

Let's hope that in the next couple of months I'll be reporting further increases. :coffee: (y)
