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:

  • Ad Rotation & A/B Comparison – Multiple ads rotate in same placement with weighted priority; side-by-side CTR comparison metabox with “winner” badge
  • 5 Ad Types – Image, Rich Content, HTML/JS Code, Google AdSense, and Email Capture
  • 16+ Placements – Header, Footer, Content, Paragraph, Sticky, Popup, Comments, Archive, Shortcode, Widget, BuddyPress, bbPress, Jetonomy
  • Google AdSense – Native AdSense support with automatic script management and Auto Ads
  • Email Capture – Inline newsletter/subscribe form with customizable colours, optional name field, hooks for Mailchimp / ConvertKit / webhook integrations
  • Link Management & Cloaked URLs – Turn long, messy URLs like amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYZ?ref=affiliate_123 into clean, branded links on your own domain (e.g. yoursite.com/go/book). Every click is tracked, and you can group links into categories, set expiration dates for time-limited offers, and add SEO-correct rel=nofollow / rel=sponsored attributes. Use the cloaked URL directly in your content or drop [wbam_link id="123"]Anchor text[/wbam_link] in any post.

  • Jetonomy Integration – 7 positions: sidebar (top / after About / bottom), after topic body, before/between/after replies (requires Jetonomy v1.3.0+)

  • Scheduling – Start/end dates, day-of-week, and time-of-day targeting
