Update,

One thing that I'm interested in adding to it is another table row to add a show/hide all affiliates like the one seen on this page http://brawldomain.com/

<br>
<!-- start: affiliate table -->

<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder"'>
<tr>
<td class='thead' colspan='5'>
<span class="smalltext"><center><b>{$mybb->settings['bbname']} Affiliates</b><center></span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width='79%' class='trow1' valign='top'>
<marquee onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" direction="left" scrollamount="3">

Affiliate Banners Go Here

</marquee>
</td>
<td width='21%' valign='top' class='trow1' align='center'>
<img src="URL of Your MiniBanner" /><br />
<a href="URL to Thread/Board where you can affiliate">Click Here to Affiliate!</a>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width='100%' class='trow1' valign='top'>
<b>{$mybb->settings['bbname']}
<div class="expcolimage"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/collapse{$collapsedimg['newbox_e']}.gif" id="newbox_img" class="expander" alt="[-]" title="[-]" /></div>
</td>
</tr>

</table>
<!-- end: Affiliate table -->

There are Plug-Ins for this too for MyBB 1.6.x Forum Affiliate Manager.

I think plugins might be a bit easier for un-experienced people. Good tutorial though

Plug-Ins are much better and safer cause they do everything on their own you need to edit everything one by one...
