Can a person get in trouble with Google if they display Google News RSS feeds on a web site which also runs Google Adsense? I would not have thought so, and then I read the following terms of use on their Google News "Terms of Service" page. Here is the applicable paragraph.
If this is really the case, I can just show Yahoo News instead and still run my Google Adsense ads. That's unfortunate though, because the RSS feed for Google Blog Search is cool.
2. Use of the Service. You may only display the content of the Service for your own personal use (i.e., non-commercial use) and may not otherwise copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display any content. For example, you may not use the Service to sell a product or service; use the Service to increase traffic to your Web site for commercial reasons, such as advertising sales; take the results from the Service and reformat and display them, or use any robot, spider, other device or manual process to monitor or copy any content from the Service. If you are uncertain whether your intended use of the Service is permissible, please contact us. In addition, Google shall have the right in its sole discretion to suspend or terminate the Service or your access to it.
