How to Add a New Zone?
Before you can add new ads, you need to add at least one zone to your site.
Zones are comparable to Post Categories in WordPress -- much like every post should have at least one category, your ads too should be clubbed under a particular zone.
Adding New Zones
Only site administrators can add new zones from the WP backend. Advertisers can only add ads under zones; they cannot add new zones.
