Good point Alex.

Before you do any more sites - take 20 paces back and consider this:

(a) What happens if a sponsor need link changes (as you said)

(b) What can I do if I want to dump a sponsor and replace with another?

There are ways of handling this - some elements could be SSI, others could be scripting. Either way, it's well worth spending some planning time on.

Got a setup here where any sponsor can be dumped/replaced or linkage changed etc, over a range of networks and prob takes no more than 20 mins to activate on .. dunno exactly.. around 5000 free sites.

Even if it takes a week to work out a suitable scenario - it's well worth it
