I also hate terms like "instant access", which I believe means absolutely nothing to the surfer... No one goes "wow, how can I access this porn instantly" - the worst two words in porn I think. The same goes for 468x60 banners, surfers have been trained to avoid these for 5 years.
All valid points.
When I worked for a mainstream top50 I had all sorts of tracking and analytics in place. EVERY SINGLE creative that had "click here" in it performed better than the same variant without it.
