If the 5th ad is the one my visitor is interested in, great, I'll definitely take the click.
But my point is I'd take away the possibility of having my visitor click on a less profitable link and have them look at the more profitable ones instead if I went with 4 instead of 5. This is only a hypothesis though, so I'm uncertain if this would hold true or not.
