Do you see value in being able to advertise during URL redirects?

I have a product that is in beta that allow you to advertise to users for a specific number of seconds before redirecting to the target URL. The scenario below might be easier to understand.

1. You have an affiliate site. Your users read your blog posts and you leave outbound links to relevant content.
2. User clicks the link and is shown an image and text of something you make commission on.
3. If user clicks the product he/she will be sent to a product page and hopefully convert.
4. If not, the URL redirects and the user is on his/her way within a number of seconds (10 seconds is the default).

This is a demo link (the redirect leads back to this post).

The app allows you to use custom domains as well! Do you see any validity to this idea?
