all in all, most of this can be faked (even tho its good to have buttons and logos on a credible site) IMHO the best way to be crdible is to provide excellent customer service, be honest and keep your promises (timescales, contact them when you say you will, be proactive dont wait for them to call) this speaks louder than any button or logo.

To this list, I would add that choosing the right niches, niches with demand and not too much competition makes the whole thing easier.

As long as you are providing consistent and ongoing support I find credibility increases over time. If you are an active contributor in your industry via forums, Yahoo answers etc, it usually doesnt take long to get your name out there – especially if you use something like Twitter.

Curtis, you’re right…in fact, Crutchfield, the site I referred to with regards to the batches, has them at the bottom.

The problem is that space in the header is so limited. I usually try to get McAfee or ControlScan in the header, and put the others at the top of the content block on the cart and checkout pages. And again in the footer, and sometimes in the right column of the homepage and landing pages.

As with many things, this is one of those great things to split test with something like Google’s Website Optimizer.
