Just watched the video. It's evident that Bing uses clicks as one of its signals. So a possible SEO tactic now would be to spam clicks on your link?

Easy to catch and filter. But yes, in theory, this will improve results. The proportion of users clicking the 10th link on a page is much lower than those who click the 1st. If users clicking the 10th > 1st, then there is an assumed ranking problem. So clicks help fix ranking.
