We can use something like OpenX[1] to serve the banners using a common
code across all the different templates. Where it is hosted can be a
problem.

Another option is Google DFP[2].

The advantage of an ad server is, you can add new banners and they all
start appearing/rotating throughout the site. Banners can be scheduled
and stats (impressions and clicks) are logged.

These are the ones I've used before but there might be others which are better.
