S.e.x. literature in AdLinks

I clicked on it, but no ads available

I checked one of my German pages and was surprised, that in the AdLinks was

Literatur
Literatur S.e.x

So I clicked on the second AdLink to find out to what sort of literature my page is releated.

But on the other site, only a Google AdLink search box and the statement, that no Ads are available for this search.

It's not unusual to me to see adlinks which don't have nothing to do with the site's subject and the when I click them I find.....nothing...

I guess we can click on the adlinks links, as long as we don't click the actal ads that appear, right?

I tentatively clicked some of mine and all looks good. Since I added adlinks this month, they've been doing very well. CTR is under 5%. This means that only 5% of people who click on the adlinks, click on an ad within that adlink? Or is 5% the first click?

Still not quite sure how they work, but bottom line, an extra 30 bucks a day.

Clicking our adlinks only hurts ourselves I guess....

Adlinks page impressions don't count so the CTR is the clicks/ad impression not clicks/adlink impression...

So 95% are clicking on the adlinks, being sent to a page with nothing but ads... then clicking... nothing? Hopefully they are at least clicking their back button to return to my site. Seems like CTR should be higher than 5%. My site average is a little more than that, for regular Adsense ads.
