Can someone more awake than I please explain this to me? In the Term of Service, I see this:

Personal Use Only
The Google Services are made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use the Google Services to sell a product or service, or to increase traffic to your Web site for commercial reasons, such as advertising sales. You may not take the results from a Google search and reformat and display them, or mirror the Google home page or results pages on your Web site. You may not "meta-search" Google. If you want to make commercial use of the Google Services, you must enter into an agreement with Google to do so in advance.

My website sells a product that I develop. I'd be using the Analytics to better track my viewers. This counts as commercial use, right? So I and anyone else in similar circumstances can't use this service.

I hope I'm missing something here, but that's what the TOS seems to say.
