Unqualified traffic is always bad -- at a minimum it skews results, at the worest it ruins a campaign. I can certainly imagine there are some companies willing to pay for those impressions/ clicks regardless but that's not going to be common.

There are certainly ways to accomplish this hack but you should keep in mind that most adserving networks won't work well with them (from a purely technical perspective). In order to determine that a click did indeed go through you need to get something back from the link and since the ad networks tend to use dynamic code it would be very tricky to accomplish.
