From a cynical POV a testimonial that cannot be validated is a fake. However, if you have some form of link to the source that can (and is willing) to validate then it must be real and thus carries weight.

For me the reviews that Amazon included were the only reason that I used to visit the site.

If I am buying a car I will not bother going anywhere else than http*//www.carsurvey.org/ what a great site! It can’t help Brett with his "to buy a red Porsche or purple Porsche" dilemma but after reading 10 or so reviews you know if you are about to buy a lemon :)
