Use this mod and edit the ad template with this, I'm fairly certain that ad location can't be used for any other ad.

Use the standard system and don't install this mod, and you can have multiple ads in one location that will be seen only by whatever usergroup you want to see them.
Too bad the Advertising Module which comes with vb is very limited in the way it handles usergroups. You can only have the if condition apply to 1 usergroup. Which means, if you want the ad to display to everyone except for a certain 3 usergroups, you have to create several ads, and even then, it's difficult to accomplish fully.

So this Template mod does add functionality for people wanting to do this.
