---- testimonials must be real?

When I first launched my commercial website, I used FAKE testimonials, it was an excellent traffic driver and even places like Yahoo listed this in the descriptions.

This resulted me in getting MORE genuine testimonials, and also lots of conversions.

I can now say that it was a very foolish/selfish thing to do, and I regret having done it.

Currently I do NOT carry testimonials, although we get about 2-3 per week, as most of the competition are running fakes, I do NOT want to be tarnished with the same brush.

We all make mistakes, SORRY

Shak
