If it doesnt contain information it displays a random banner and starts collecting information on what they click for the database.

Not a bad idea for short term use I guess, people do renew their IP lease frequently. You'd omit all dial up, dsl, etc.. I believe our cable IP is renewed once every month or two.

Easier to just install adware and show contextual ads.... but I'm sure no one here will agree with me on that point.
