I mean, c'mon people. At least get creative with your adjectives! I’m sure you’re right, Laurie—my problem probably isn’t hyperbole per se, but the naked, unsubtle way in which it’s done.

I just checked Brill's site; they don't have any... but they could! I know they've placed some great people. That would be powerful. Thanks for your comment! @Matthew—Testimonials, yes!

That website is web 1.0, just an advertising billboard. IMHO, you can't even claim to be doing personal branding until you are contributing content and trying to develop conversation around that content. If someone (or company) is not blogging and not on Twitter, I don't consider that personal branding. My 2 cents worth.

Anybody who tells you how good they are before you can figure it out for yourself is either unsure of how good they *really* are, or trying to shout down those who might have another view. Far better to let your clients speak for you with a testimonials page ... Agree whole-heartedly.

Far better to let your clients speak for you with a testimonials page …
