I was browsing around today, and figured I'd give the old goolge search a spin with the "Testimonials" off of ADDR.com's website since I stumbled upon them...

Here is what I found:

Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=%22I+was+amazed+that+you+were+able+to+open+my+account+and+get+me+going+right+after+I+clicked+on+the+submit+button%21+I+really+needed+to+put+my+webpa ge+up+fast%2C+and+didn%27t+even+need+to+wait+5+minutes.+Thanks%2C+I%27ll+be+sure+to+mention+you+to+my+friends%22&btnG=Search)

People need to learn what they were taught in kindergarten... (and what the 10 commandments say) that it is WRONG to steal!

Your "Google Search" link isn't working for me, and they limit searches to ten words anyway... so anyone wanting to see what you're looking at can use this one (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22I+was+amazed+that+you+were+able+to+open+my%22).

Too funny... You know, if someone is going to use fake testimonials, is it really that hard to just make up your own?

Odd.. i just copy/pasted the url for the google search...

Yeah, its funny how many people are too lazy to create their own testimonials... its even sadder how some hosts need to create/steal testimonials to lie to potential customers about their service.

I'd post some of the comments/testimonials our customers give us on our site, but for fear of having them stolen, I just link to their comments on 3rd party sites like HostRatings.com, or their posts in our forum.
