I know you’re double-charging your advertisers for the same story by artificially inflating your pageview count. It’s just like the old auto-frame-refresh trick, but this one’s better because most of the ad networks haven’t banned it yet.
So I don't have any direct experience with this, and I'm not an advertiser, but I would think that advertisers would be happy with this, no?
It's a chance to get more ads in front of the viewer (of the same content).
Frame auto-refreshing sounds like an out-and-out way to cheat the advertisers, but this is really just increasing the ad to content ratio in a way that isn't always directly obvious to the end viewer (and is not as nasty as covering 95% of the screen in ads).
Do advertisers actually dislike this practice?
