- lsc 16y agothis was my thought. unless the third party comment is from someone famous (which is to say, someone I know of; someone who has a reputation. Recommendations are worthless without a reputation to back them up.) my assumption is that they are made up. Really, they might as well be. Now, if your marketing to less technical people, or people who are less sophisticated when it comes to seeing through advertising, then maybe quotes from joe random guy right next to some nice looking stock photos would be useful? I know of several real-estate ASPs who did rather well for themselves with the quotes from joe random guy plus stock photos.

- brass_cannon 16y agoHow about embedding positive tweets about your business? Pretty hard to fake that kind of testimonial, and they always appear more genuine than solicited praise.
