Google API to charge for usage

Google has decided to start charging on a per-use basis for its API interface, with effect from July1, 2006.

Previously, Google made its API available for free, but limited usage based on the amount of ad dollars being managed. Under the new system, developers will be charged 25 cents per 1,000 times the API is used to call data.

Effect on us : untill we are using bid managment softwares, or calling the data once/twice an hour.
