WB Ad Manager is a powerful and easy-to-use ad management plugin for WordPress. It allows you to create and manage ads with multiple placement options, targeting rules, and supports BuddyPress, bbPress, and Jetonomy.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Ad Rotation & A/B Comparison – Multiple ads rotate in same placement with weighted priority; side-by-side CTR comparison metabox with “winner” badge</li>
<li>5 Ad Types – Image, Rich Content, HTML/JS Code, Google AdSense, and Email Capture</li>
<li>16+ Placements – Header, Footer, Content, Paragraph, Sticky, Popup, Comments, Archive, Shortcode, Widget, BuddyPress, bbPress, Jetonomy</li>

Every click is tracked, and you can group links into categories, set expiration dates for time-limited offers, and add SEO-correct <code>rel=nofollow</code> / <code>rel=sponsored</code> attributes. Use the cloaked URL directly in your content or drop <code>[wbam_link id="123"]Anchor text[/wbam_link]</code> in any post.</li>
