I love the ads that have that X's and O's background so you mistake a random X inside the ad for the "close" button and accidentally give them a clickthrough.

I wonder how effective these tactics are. Like, what percentage more clickthroughs do they achieve with this deception?

Even if there are more klicks, there is no way any of these lead to a decision to buy their crap.
