OK, there are solutions for both issues. I use OpenAds and I have banners 
showing on all my drupal pages, these newsletters included. You could create 
a separate zone for those newsletters which will give you the granularity to 
have sponsored newsletters if need be.

As for logged out users, you could make these hosted newsletters also 
viewable by logged out users. You just need a bit of php conditional stuff:

if $user ->uid: show dynamic blocks based on users' location, profile date
if not - show standard dynamic blocks, last 10 blog entries, last 10 
comments, last 10 forum posts, last 10 users.
