Instead of pointing directly to the URL that was submitted for the job - the user will now first land on a "jump page" so that the user can get "more information" before clicking on to the destination page. What is your take on this?

Out of curiosity, I posted a few interesting jobs on Google Base and it appears nobody even visited the pages... which is surprising considering this is the mighty Google, after all. A close friend posted on GB for an entirely different reason and was also very unimpressed (no answer, whatsoever). Maybe GB will get better over time but right now, it's probably safe to say although lots of people may be posting, not too many are actively "reading"! Have some other users had success with GB?
