Hello All (espcially Jeff), I have a many web pages that display data from the Google Ajax APIs. These pages do not use ajax. When a user visits the page the server gets some data from Google api and builds the HTML page.
When GoogleBot recently scanned my site I saw lots of errors in my custom error logs saying that the request to google api was blocked for "Suspected Terms of Service Abuse". At the same time that these errors were being produced I was able to visit the pages without any problem. I do include the userip parameter so Iam guessing that the only request being blocked are the ones that GoogleBot creates. I know it was Googlebot because the userip was 66.249.71.67 and HTTP_USER_AGENT Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/ bot.htm. My Question: Is it against Google Terms of Service to have a Non Ajax web page; that when a user visits the page the server gets some data from Google api and builds the HTML page? The possible problem with this setup is that spiders will cause requests to the Google Api in order for the page to be built. If this is against TOS then Please can a Google Employee help me out with this.
