The script on takebacktheweb.com does not refresh the same page 
(which does work in effect, it erases all of the links), but rather 
it loads up your page and in a split-second, redirects the user over 
to an informative page on the TBTW site. 
So like if you're getting paid per view on those banner ads, this 
shouldn't harm you whatsoever - the person isn't loading your page 
twice like they would be if they were just refreshing.

In some cases, if your page is a medium-sized download, the user will 
be redirected to TBTW before your page even loads up. This was the 
case on my carriebartkowiak.com site (before I took geeklog off of it 
tonight); because it had to do database calls to dynamically serve up 
the page. I'd get redirected before the page would actually show up.
