		<description>I am not sure Google is too good at gathering coupons, but my site is pretty good at it. Check out www.1pizzacoupons.com. Let me know what you think of it.</description>

		<description>[...] Lastly, it appears that Google Coupons also provide a &#8220;web page&#8221; reference that adds authority to your link. There were none in Buffalo because none of the restaurants had yet created a coupon but I have seen them on other searches. It&#8217;s a freebie, clearly improves your ranking and while I doubt that you see many redeemed (see Greg Sterlings tale) they will do little harm if you create your coupon judiciously. If it is ever redeemed you will know that either Google Maps is finally more than 1% of all Google Traffic or Google has started promoting them&#8230;both seem a ways off. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] I and others (see Bill Slawski&#8217;s posts) have lamented the step child stature of Google Maps and Google&#8217;s apparent unwillingness to push it out to the consumer. It has always seemed to be such a valuable service that was hidden away and hard to find. Greg Sterling talked of the difficulties with the Coupon feature. I have noted how hard it is for a business to find their way into the Local Business Center. The Google Maps new Click to Call feature may be the feature that signals the tipping point in its adoption. [...]</description>
