Consider two dynasties which you could have as an ally.
Consider the following information about them:
Dynasty "A" has 59 members. Most of their members have 10 links in their profile which they display for brief periods of time during that dynasty's daily "happy hour". Two members of their dynasty are in negative credits and are left like that all day, so their links are not clickable. Counting up links clicked in all their member's profiles, you find you've gotten 62 clicks from them, since you weren't able to get any of the 10-link members, even though you were online during their happy hour. 62 clicks from 59 members means 1.05 links per member.
Dynasty "B" also has 59 members. While some members have 10 links, many have fewer, and many of them show those smaller numbers of links for longer periods of time so you find you can consistently get 2, 3, or 4 links from several of their members. Eight members of their dynasty (newbies or vacationers) go negative at times throughout the day, but they are consistently transferred credits to make them clickable, so most of the time you find you've already clicked them. Counting up links clicked in their profile, you have clicked 92 links. That means you are getting 1.56 clicks per member from this dynasty.
Is Dynasty "B" the worse ally because you might glance once and see 7 or 8 negatives in their list?
Which would be the better ally to keep if you wished to maximize your own dynasty's clicks?
