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.

In the end you're still testing conversion rates between sponsors, without worrying about getting banned and ending up like this little guy... (he's so damn cool, hehe)
I was thinking along similar lines:
I don't mind if you send the links to your own full-page ad WHICH CAN BE ROTATED! I check full-page ads and reject them if they lead into pop-up hell or open a dialer, but even permit them if they have (let's say) 2 pop-ups which can be easily closed (better than some sponsor tours...).
