Eric,

Thank you very much for your reply and it is very much appreciated.

We will append our application accordingly.

The thing that's bothersome about this situation, Eric, is that there
are keyword tools like Market Samurai (a tool that is initially given
away for free) and other desktop tools that SCRAPE the Google External
Keyword Tool, which is a clear violation of Google's Terms of
Service.  These desktop tool owners don't have the nerve to even apply
for an Adwords API token because their business model of having an end
user paying for the tool one time would never work.

These type of violators should be at the forefront of the battle for
Google's quality experience that is obviously being disturbed by
probably MILLIONS of hits daily to the External Keyword Tool, and an
obvious drain on resources.  If you could make sure this message
actually gets through to the right person, you could free up a bunch
of resources and wasted bandwidth by stopping desktop scrapers from
eating up resources they don't even pay for (one might consider these
folks thieves).

On the other hand, us business owners are legitimately helping clients
by paying for what resources our clients are requesting through our
applications and interfaces so they can make smart advertising
decisions.

I'm sure you would agree, something seems a little off with this.

Once again, I appreciate your quick reply.  And if you could please
pass the word onto those in charge that could put an end to the true
bleeding of resources that aren't even being paid for by desktop
scrapers, which ARE truly a clear violation of Google's own TOS.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
