My cofounder has had similar experiences. I don't have the data handy, but last time I grumbled about a "click here" he told me about a couple of times he A/B tested it and got substantial wins.

I still wouldn't use "click here" in normal writing (e.g., a blog post); I think it's unnecessary and a bit gauche. But I'm happy to do it on landing pages and other places where I really do want people to click there.
