Methods, systems, and media for identifying automatically refreshed advertisements

A system for modifying content spending, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is configured to:
• receive content delivery information associated with a plurality of content items displayed on a web page;
• determine, from a distribution of the plurality of content items were displayed on the web page over an amount of time based on the content delivery information, whether a deviation in the distribution correlates to an automatic refresh command performed by one or more of the browser applications by monitoring the content delivery information following the deviation;
• determine whether a number of views correlated with the automatic refresh command is greater than an auto-refresh threshold value;
• and
• inhibit one or more of the plurality of content items from being further presented on the web page in response to determining that the number of views correlated with the automatic refresh command is greater than the auto-refresh threshold value.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for content spending, the method comprising:

• receiving content delivery information associated with a plurality of content items displayed on a web page;
• determining, from a distribution of the plurality of content items were displayed on the web page over an amount of time based on the content delivery information, whether a deviation in the distribution correlates to an automatic refresh command performed by one or more of the browser applications by monitoring the content delivery information following the deviation;
• determining whether a number of views correlated with the automatic refresh command is greater than an auto-refresh threshold value;
• and
• inhibiting one or more of the plurality of content items from being further presented on the web page in response to determining that the number of views correlated with the automatic refresh command is greater than the auto-refresh threshold value.
