Google doesn't exactly scream "small business" in my mind. I guess they thought so too...

Internet search giant Google on Monday night began offering small businesses a free way to offer coupons online.

The initiative is aimed primarily at the millions of businesses that don't currently advertise online, and offers them the ability to attract local customers with discounts or special deals.

Online coupons run near the business listings of Google's specialized local search area, called Google Maps. It's like an online yellow pages, but with clickable links to websites, and mapping information.

It's hard to know exactly what Google is playing at with these coupons beside the obvious, but perhaps the initiative is designed to introduce new customers (read: potential advertisers) to the company.
