    You can click on the links *in* the link units, but not the links on the Google page the first link lands you on.

    Exactly. Why risk getting banned from Adsense just to satisfy your curiosity? :D

    Yes you can click the link but not the advertisement.
    the only downside is that you will get a false impression in your adsense report.
