If the ads are a fixed size, you could place them in absolutely-positioned divs instead. Then, once the page loads, you could move those container divs to their designated spots. There are a lot of Javascript samples out there for calculating an absolute position from a relative position. Of course, you would have to reserve space visually in the destination divs so the ads wouldn't cover the content.
