WebsiteSecure.org clients have done very well so far with the answers to both.
Well if you are saying you have a client that showed by placing your seal on their site, they ran a comparison by randomly loader 1 tour with your seal, and 1 tour without and after say 100k uniques they looked at the data and saw they made $200 more with the seal, fine. All I'm saying is if you are for real, show me the site/person/data, cause I'm not buying it. If it's true, and you are legit, you should have no problem producing some referrals, if it's B.S. you won't want to give any names as referrals.

Mainstream is alot different than adult when it comes to seals, but thank you for admitting the 10-20% is pulled from something other than data. I don't mean to be a dick, but inflated claims like that set me off cause there are alot of gullible people that accept claims like that with no data to back it up, and I don't think it's fair to do that.
