I have a sample at http://www.ntlug.org

Access using the ntlug-ads skin.
http://www.ntlug.org/Main/HomePage?skin=ntlug-ads

(the ads are fake/funny ones)

If that looks interesting let me know and I'll see about
posting the skin and template.

You can see all of the ads here:
http://www.ntlug.org/?n=Main.SiteMap&action=search&q=group%3Dfakeads+fmt%3D%23sciinclude

In this case, the ads are simple graphics... which might not
be what you want in all cases.  But if the banner can be
wiki-ized, then it will work just fine.
