Thanks for being kind enough to leave a comment. I'm sure that by using pictures, real names, and people's own words, it is possible to use testimonials credibly on your website.

On the other hand, your choice to promote one particular for-profit site would be more credible if it weren't anonymous.

Testimonial is one of the main ways to build credibility or performance history.

One must admit though, if you see testimonials in someone’s website a thought of “ah he wrote that himself” crosses your mind.

A third party testimonial is needed, a neutral third party. Example: Ebay but sadly Ebay does not solve the problem as you have to do transaction to be able to leave feedbacks.

Along came 2Locals.com for local businesses, check the website out http://www.2Locals.com and every business has its own page and testimonials, look at http://www.2Locals.com/littlepalace (my favorite store around San Jose by the way) I think to have an account at 2Locals.com is a must for building credibility.
