Deploying map mashup to a remote site

[John Paul Hardy]

I am currently developing an advertising unit, which consists of a Google Map with markers over certain cities.  The intention is that when a user clicks on the city marker it links back to the relevant page on my site.  This would be given to affiliates as HTML/Javascript to place on their sites (instead of the more conventional jpg or gif).  My question is over the new charging restrictions - if the home page of the site in question gets in excess of 25,000 hits per day the issue of charging comes into play.  Would I be right in thinking that the affiliate site would actually be incurring those charges and not me?  Is there a way of avoiding this?

Get your customers to put your map in an iframe, so that you host
everbody's maps amd are the one liable for charges. I think!! It's
not entirely clear. Would certainly seem a better way to deploy
anyway.

I have the reverse problem.

I am developing an app that doesn't generate advertising revenue so don't want to be liable for charges if someone embeds it on their website!

I am also curious as to how charging will be applied for apps that are run as gadgets on iGoogle, Google calendar, Facebook etc.

I don't even own my own domain running as as subdomain of the hosting companies domain.
