Update on Jungle Basin and a bit on Adsense

Some Starcraft II news:

An update live on the EU server is a small change to Jungle Basin, but will change the game a LOT.  There is now a gold base outside of your main base.  3rd base is easy now... but Terran is going to be able to herp derp stomp everything and take its 4th base so easy.  It's going to be interesting to see how games will now be played on this map.


Off topic news -
An interesting note on Adsense: It seems that for those using Adsense, users won't get credit for when people click on an ad and don't stay on the advertisement for more that 20-25 seconds.  It's a shame for bloggers and other users that attract traffic towards those ads because it's not his/her fault that the advertisement cannot keep the attention of its clickers. 

I'll be posting another first person VOD later today of one of my ladder games, so stay tuned!

    I agree with the Adsense comment. We do our job by writing interesting topics and attracting readers to our page. When we write said topics, we lure people into becoming interested in said topics. In turn, they're more apt to click on an ad of those topics. Our job should be complete then. If the reader finds the site, company, and/or products to be of low quality such that they can see that in 10 seconds, how is that our fault?

    i agree with your take earning revenue with adsense, some ads landing pages just effin suck. to bad there is no way to rank the landing page whenever u land on one from an ad. that would save so much damn time, and we could vote on relevance

    Worth noting that spurious short clicks hurt you twice over - you get paid 0.01 but they bump your CTR ratio making it look like you're engaged in some kind of dodgey click-frausd.
