Google Pricing Model
Anonymous Site: $10 per 1000 page views. But no one pays that, of course. If you don't get a contract, then above the first free 25,000 views,
you pay $4 per 1000. And we got them to quote us to about $2, maybe $1.80. In our case, that meant paying $200,000-$400,000 a year for
maps.
Geocaching: 2,000,000 google map hits a day. Around $1 Million a year
