I'm well within the 0.35%. Since the new pricing exceeds my ad revenue, I'll probably have to give up and come up with something else than Google Maps. I wonder how many others in the 0.35% will find themselves in the same situation, making the percentage of paying sites smaller, and the above equation less likely to work? - Hessu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
