I just got an email with the subject 7-Day Notificati**on of Android Market Developer Term Violation noting the spam and placement section. I have an app that is a ListView of each state that links to a WebView for a form hosted by state government. I listed out the name of each state in my description as well.
So at first I thought it was because of putting each state in the description as you could argue it is "loaded with keywords". Then I read the fourth bullet point that says: "Do not post an app where the primary functionality is to link to the website or the webview of a website not owned by you (unless you have permission from the website owner to do so)." I removed the states from the keywords. Do you think if I host the files myself on Google Documents that would not break that rule? If I hosted them myself, then I am concerned about hosting copyright data. (I'm linking to state's driver's manuals) I'll probably be on the safe side and just choose a new app idea for my first app. But I would like to bring it up for discussion first. Also, if I did it leave the app up and remove the keywords and host it myself. If it is still in violation, does the app get deleted or does my account get a restriction, or is any other action taken?
