Your client side code is correct. The only caveat is that ASP.NET could mangle the id of the control and it might not be lnkClickMe at runtime. You could use a class selector or use the ClientID server side method to get the actual id:

$('#<%= lnkClickMe.ClientID %>').click(function(){
   alert('clicked');
});


$('#<%= lnkClickMe.ClientID %>').trigger('click');

In ASP.NET 4.0 you could configure predictable names by using the ClientIDMode setting:

<system.web>
    <pages clientIDMode="Predictable"></pages>
</system.web>
