They are going to start charging for over 25k hits a day - $4 per K overage.

That's going to get bloody expensive for those dating sites that use geo data and maps in their affiliate advertising.

I do not blame Google ... I would also charge people who use my free service for their personal profit ...

Cost of doing business

I guess serving up bandwidth to the world was only worth it until they killed all
competition.

Good, maybe it will get rid of some of the shitty dating sponsors out there...there goes the $200+ payouts

does that mean the girl I like doesn't actually live in my town even though I see her in my town as I travel across the entire midwest, I was sure she kept moving to stay close to me

Isn't that Google's game plan? Make a lot of shit, see what sticks, and then try to make money off of it.

Oh, come on now. Google will only charge SITES, not users, a fee of $0.004 cents for each map-hit over 25,000 per day. This changes nothing for 99.65% of users out there. Google technology is awesome and joe blows like you and me get to use it all for free since its paid for by advertising. Google empowers businesses around the world and lets the small guys compete with the big ones to boot. What on earth do you have to complain about?

EddyTheDog · 11-01-2011, 12:22 AM

Just a thought - I wonder if they are going to set it up on a per domain basis or per user?

Yeah they are just trying to charge businesses, it's not a bad plan really. Marketing should cost a little money at least. It's crazy what you can get from Google for free as a business.
