Assuming you're using the free license, you're allowed a quota of
15000 queries to the geocoder per day,and not too fast.
If you need more, you can "ask" each of your visitors to do a handful
queries on your behalf, and send you the results in an AJAX call to
your server.
This would all be perfectly within the terms. You'd only be using some
extra bandwidth and processing power on your visitors computer, but it
can be done quite transparently.
