I believe they hold value, but not for customers.  I like to promote 
well-written code, so I use the badges on many sites, especially for a 
portfolio site (a "promote me"/"hire me" site).  I want employers to 
know that I focus on quality, valid code.  For sales, I imagine it holds 
little value unless you use that site in your portfolio for future 
employers or for promotion.  I'm no design specialist, but be careful of 
clutter - if your site has a simple design, maybe use the badges.  If it 
has lots of info per page, consider not using them.
