They're a quick and easy fix that, when you think about it, is a missed opportunity by so many web writers and online businesses. It seems like half the websites floating around don't have testimonials. I like the idea of rating sites, but testimonials have their place.

It might help to note that the best way to get credible testimonials is not to get testimonials at all ---- but, rather, to get reviewed or rated on an unbiased rating site. There are lots of rating sites out there, like What-Customers-Say.com, Yelp.com and Avvo.com. These sites often have widgets, too, so companies/professionals can simply plug in an eye-catching link on their own site that drives people to reviews on other sites. Unbiased reviews are often more valuable than testimonials on a website, given that it's very likely that the owner of the site will select only the best testimonials. Kinda tough to get to the truth re: a company's quality of work when that company is filtering all customer reviews. ~jw Nice piece.
