Web Search AJAX API Suspected Terms of Service Abuse

[seittest]

Hi,

I have programmed a free automated website analyser, which is some
what popular in Germany: www.seittest.de. This analyser also gets the
serp ranks for a dedicated page and keyword.

Therefore, I am using the Google web search API with Perl. Since a few
days I am getting the message:

{"responseData": null, "responseDetails": "Suspected Terms of Service
Abuse, please contact ajaxapis...@google.com.", "responseStatus":
403}

I haven't changed anything an it is a free and non commercial site, so
I don't understand it. I also wrote to ajaxapis...@google.com but
haven't get any response yet.

Any ideas? Is there anyone at Goolge who I may contact?

Just glancing at your site, your problem is probably that you're
submitting automated queries, which is expressly forbidden in the TOS.
You can find the TOS at the link below. I would recommend going over
it, comparing it to the features and functions of your site, and
possibly consulting with legal experts to plot a plan of action.

Hello Jeremy,

Would you happen to know whether there is a TOS for commercial
purposes? Something like a subscribed and paid use of the Google API
for automated searches (maybe per result received)?

Best regards,

Ruben

To my knowledge, there is not.
