Can I have ads refresh automatically without a page reload?

By default, an ad placement will not reload itself until the visitor refreshes the web page or go to a new page. Instead of this behavior, you can set the number of seconds in the serving code so that the ad server automatically fetches and displays a new ad. This happens without your visitors having to reload their current viewing web page.

How it works

After every X seconds, the ad will be refreshed, a new ad is displayed and a new impression is recorded. This feature is useful for long page or highly interactive pages. For example: web playable games, streaming video and music.

Refresh Setting

When generating the serving code, under the Advanced Options, you can change the number of seconds to automatically reload ads. The default value is blank, which means no refresh until visitors explicitly reload the web page.
