What is your market? Are you specializing in any particular industry? Would significant peoples' names on your site mean something? Testimonials are usually window dressing (the work speaks for itself), unless they come from someone with serious cache.

Personally, I wouldn't put them on my site. In does sound sales-y or like you're trying too hard (maybe if your clients are local mom and pop places). I use LinkedIn for stuff like that. Connect with the client and let them see actual testimonials. You can't fake the ones on LinkedIn and the potential client can see who you've done work for and know that the testimonial isn't just something you made up.

Just be sure to make up good ones!

For some reason I've always thought having client testimonials on one's own site was a bit cheesy and sales-y. (for designer's site)
But recently, based on a lot of what I've been seeing, I'm starting to think it might be important to have.
