I do most of my stuff via a perl backend on my webserver but there is a neat pure html/javascript way to do it.
First you need to get a map key for your website.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html
Second view and copy source from this page.
http://maps.juhlin.com/maps/geomulti_demo.htm
Third Replace my map key with yours.
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=***your_key_here***" type="text/javascript"></script>
Fourth Put the addresses you want in here.
var addresses = [
"PAWNEE EAST, OK",
"MEHAN NE, OK",
"RATTLESNAKE, OK",
"ORLANDO EAST, OK",
"HARTSHORNE, OK"
];
Fifth upload the file to your webserver and view it. It will process about one record every 2 seconds.
It works nice up to about 1000 records then the browser slows down so I suggest breaking the data down into ~1000 record chunks.
Edit; Oho another thing is that is is usually best to provide a full state name to Google as they will often interpret CA as Canada and CO as Columbia and KY as one of the Former Soviet republics.
