Ad zone rotation, targeting by user group/forum, and performance tracking for vBulletin.

Ad zone rotation, targeting by user group/forum, and performance tracking for vBulletin forums. Create multiple ad zones (header, footer, sidebar, or inline) and assign ad items to each zone. Zones support three rotation types: sequential, random, and weighted.

Ad targeting allows zones to display only on specific forums or for specific user groups. Impression and click tracking records every display and click in the database. Performance statistics show impressions, clicks, and click-through rate (CTR) per zone and per ad item.

The system uses SQL-based storage for reliability and integrates with the vBulletin admin CP. The admin dashboard provides an overview of all zones, their performance metrics, and quick access to create new zones or add ad items.
