I've wondered about this too.

It's difficult to dissect because there's a general correlation between the sites that are clicked on and the sites that are linked to. (The exception being aggressive linkbait, which everybody clicks on but then feels deceived and doesn't want to link to.)

If someone knows the answer to this, I'd like to know as well.
