You can use LINQ to XML:

var doc = XDocument.Parse(xmlString);

var items = (from r in doc.Root.Elements("row")
             select new Row()
                 {
                     linksclicked = (string) r.Element("linksclicked"),
                     clickedcount = (int) r.Element("clickedcount")
                 }).ToList();
