Instead of making sponsor-specific text ads or using sponsor's banner ads, use a generic banner or sales text. Just one that doesn't mention the site name.
Then rather than sending the click to a sponsor, send it to a php redirection script that will instantly bounce the surfer to whichever sponsor you like.
When you have enough traffic to sponsor A, just switch the redirect code to sponsor B so surfers get bounced over there.

Here's the rub, Carrie. What you suggested is the same thing that most folks won't allow via the banner rotator. The banner rotator does the same thing. What I mean is, that has been my plan, to make niched galleries, change out the sponsor banner and the link URL on the text to test the sponsors.
While the link would not change (and so that should get by the script IF it got by the owner/reviewer) the change (as someone said earlier) in the size of the different banners would however trigger the script. Maybe. Depends on how the TGP scripts cheat function actually reads a changed page. If they do it by weight, no go, if they do it by change in HTML, a banner rotator code will work depsite the script. That's the next question to figure out.
Sheesh it's tough to make a buck some days.
