Definition from Oxford University Press (OUP):
Tīmekļa saturs, kura izveidošanas galvenais mērķis ir piesaistīt uzmanību un veicināt to, lai lasītāji noklikšķinātu saiti uz kādu konkrētu tīmekļa lapu.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pastāv arī cita tīmekļa žurnālistikas puse, kuras (bieži vien vienīgais) mērķis ir piesaistīt lasītāju ar maldinošiem paņēmieniem, kā arī manipulēt ar to ziņkārību, kas ir klikšķēsmas būtība. - «Ēsma ziņkārīgajiem», Milošs Vjat  
  • Papildu tēma ir nepatiesu baumu ātrā izplatība tiešsaistē. Klikšķēsma ir piemērs, kā piesaistīt interesi uzklikšķināt uz saites, kurā var būt absurds vai nepatiess saturs, kas šādā veidā tiek izplatīts tiešsaistē. - «Bērnu padomi veselīgai...», Telia
