Google Places Coupons - Worth What They Charge

MerchantCircle.com has coupons, and if you fill those out, they are likely to show up on Google Search on the first page.  Google Places Coupons on the other hand . . . I've never seen one show up on search.  On the other hand, I have had at least one customer have a client walk in to the store with a Google Places Coupon, which to date I know of no one getting a MerchantCircle Coupon in their hand.

For now, the few minutes it takes to fill out the coupon is likely to help with ranking, so do it.
