However, Google reserves the right to include advertising in the maps images provided to You through the Service, but will provide You with ninety (90) days notice prior to the commencement of advertising. (...) During that 90 day period, you may terminate your use of the Service, or provide notice of your refusal to accept advertising in accordance with Google's policies and procedures for providing such notice (which Google may make available from time to time in its sole discretion). >>Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-75280282494675807192007-06-04T18:07:00.000-07:002007-06-04T18:07:00.000-07:00InfoWorld is steering people wrong on a few accoun...InfoWorld is steering people wrong on a few accounts.<BR/><BR/>First, you won't be able to monetize mapplets using this system, only maps using their API on your own site. I've been told that mapplet monetization may be coming in the future, but certainly not any time soon.<BR/><BR/>Also, you won't be able to just "pass over" an icon to see the ad. You'll need to click the ad marker just like any other marker on the map to display the ad. THEN, if you click the ad, the site gets paid.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps clear things up.Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940884825480306424noreply@blogger.com
