If not a little bit of research on the net uncovers them. I think anyone using them has a bigger chance of being found out to be cheating – so missing out of the business or even sued.

You can often tell fake testimonials in the same way you can tell spam comments: "This blog is wonderful. You are a genius. I will keep coming back to read your great blog." Lots of fluff, but nothing that really says anything. Mike,

This is because most often the writer has not even used the product. And the testimonial will show, because it really does not give you any good or useful information.

I'm talking about right and wrong here. There's a saying that integrity is measured by what we do when no one is looking. lion,
