I am curious if there is any factual data about how many clicks per day, on average, that a run-of-the-mill outbound link receives in the "External links" section of a typical Wikipedia article? My guess is that it's somewhere around 3 or 4, but that's just me looking at it as a [[Fermi problem]].
Depends on the article they are on but I've seen over 100 claimed on SEO forums.

I have a copy of my thesis linked from two pages (it's stunningly boring, but it's a source for a lot of one and a footnoted cite in another), and a third locally-hosted page is linked as a source in a particuarly obscure article.
Between them, they're getting anywhere from one visit per day to two a week, on average. I can't comment on "external links" sites generally.
