A/B Testing

| Per Position | Each of the 10 positions can be tested independently. |
| Easy Setup | Enter variant B codes directly in the visual position editor. |
Revenue Sharing
Share ad revenue with your content creators — automatically and fairly.

| Percentage Control | 1–100% — determines the probability of showing the creator's ad code. |
| Thread-Level | Revenue sharing activates when viewing threads — the thread author benefits. |

| User Groups | Exclude specific groups entirely (e.g., Premium, VIP, Moderators). |
| Forum Nodes | Exclude individual forums or categories from showing ads. |
