If you look at the API docs you will see that you load the API into a
web page using a script tag with a src that begins with
http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api. A page view is counted when we
receive this request.

Actually there is no limit on the number of page views for the free
API. We do ask that sites that are likely to generate more than
500,000 page views per day let us know, but we do not cap requests.
However Premier licenses are sold by page view, as sites that generate
more page views tend to have a higher support overhead. Note that
there are several different Premier licenses you can purchase, the
largest of which includes unlimited page views too.

Page views are by client id, which is a unique identifier issued to
each Premier customer. Every site that you wish to be covered by the
Premier SLA and Support must use your client id.

We'll be launching one very shortly.

The 15,000 geocoding limit in the free API is per end user IP address.
So each user of your site can perform up to 15,000 geocodes per day.
If a free API developer wishes to use the HTTP geocoder they are
subject to the same limit of 15,000 geocodes per day also. The per
user limit of 15,000 also applies to Premier sites which use the
GClientGeocoder object to generate geocode requests from the web
application itself, but Premier customers have a separate HTTP
geocoding quota that is much higher to allow them to batch geocode
larger volumes of addresses.

We don't publish the specifics of our abuse protection. Once you have
purchased a Premier license we can provide you with more specific
guidance in this regard.

As above for free API users they are always by IP. For Premier users,
client side geocoding is quotad by IP, while HTTP geocoding has a
quota tied to your client id.

Reverse geocoding is provided by the same service as forward geocoding
and currently therefore shares in the same quotas.
