You know, some people are happy to make a $2000.00 on average per car and others are happy to make $200.00. Steve UPDATE:

The same thing will apply to weight loss sites where people say they lost 300 pounds or whatever from following that program, etc. These regs only effect U.S. hosted websites which means that any website hosted outside the U.S. will still be able to have testimonials on their sites. Thanks for your comment LJ. Steve I don’t think I could realistically satisfy the FTC by finding out what everyone’s “typical results” are so I’m going to opt for doing some heavy editing instead.

Maybe we should have a law written that states all laws should be written in laymen terms. Let the Lawyers try to interpret how to write for that word (laymen). Anyway, would it not be safe to say that out of all the testimonies you receive that there is possibly some sort of average result that may be considered typical? I was just pondering the idea in hopes of helping in some sort of way. I know that when folks get excited about a big win they want to tell the world, but if their day is just average they tend to not write about it because they feel "who wants to hear about that"; and really that is somewhat true. Good luck with this dumb law thing. Hi Steve, you have a point here; I haven’t read anything about this law until I saw this article you sent me.
