I agree. For those of us who spend enough time on the web to become generally jaded, testimonials are usually assumed to be fake. That being said, the ones that matter are short (usually one sentence focused on one aspect of your service) and have a real name and/or company attach that can be found elsewhere (i.e. a link to their website).

They do, however, grab my attention when something unique is said from someone who matters. The testimonial on http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk is a great example. You might try giving them no guidelines at all. Maybe doing so will be unexpected and will result in more candid and relevant results. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
