With all the crappy products sold on infomercials seeing the "as seen on tv" label on goods usually alerts me not to buy that product. i agree with you on everything except with the “as seen on tv” label.

I agree there are alternate ways, but nothing compares to the social proof that comes with a customer who has used your product vouching for it. The more raw and natural the testimony the more effective. Getting real customer testimonies is as easy as approaching thought leaders or early adopters. Sending off a free copy of the product if they agree to provide a testimony in return. Positive testimonies add credibility, negatives ones are great for feedback - valuable market research. This works best with low value items & info products. Does not work for high value items. For sites, I agree with you on the fact that until they get their first few good testimonies, they should use the other methods that you have suggested. They're great for adding credibility, validity and emotional triggers. Anyway, you are definitely on my blog roll now. Good to see blogs like this around. Cheers Simon - EventsListed www.eventslisted.com Well said Dean!
