From the comments:
Would you consider all the agents you profile "vetted" in the sense that, if they appear on this list, we can assume they're good agents who aren't just scam artists? They all seem to be true agents, which is nice. I know that I've been very weary of untrustworthy agents.
Yes! I only profile legit agents that have verified sales and/or work with (or have worked with) a well-known agency with verified sales and clients. If they're Spotlighted on my site, you can be assured they're trustworthy agents and agencies in the sense of legitimacy (no guarantees on the way they handle themselves and their clients, however, but so far all the agents I've spotlighted seem to be great).
If someone requested a profile on an agent who wasn't legitimate or trustworthy (hasn't happened yet), I would put up a warning post rather than a profile. Likewise, if something fishy came up about an agent I've already Spotlighted, I would notify everyone with a similar post and put the information on their Spotlight until I could get an official thumbs up or thumbs down from our writerly watchdogs over at Writer Beware.
If you have any more questions, please ask!

Great question...and answer. Thanks for all your hard work, Casey!
I'll say it again - I love this blog. When I'm ready to query, I'm going to use the section on your sidebar where you've broken agents down by genre. You're a tremendous help to aspiring writers. :)
I think you do an outstanding job of spotlighting agents. You cover every aspect and its been so helpful. Thank you!
I really appreciate all the information you've pulled together on agents. It's been very helpful to me as I start my submissions. I've been lurking for a couple of months, but I had to respond to this post!
Hi, Casey, thank you for the great info on your site. I have a 75 page partial with an agent right now. Very exciting! If you like, take a look at my blog. It's pretty much all fiction, all the time! Tina
You're amazing, Casey!! Keep up the great work. :)
There's nothing like peace of mind. Thanks for this great blog!
I love this blog. The information found here is invaluable in my search for an agent. I keep coming back. Thanks for all the hard work in gathering all this information.
Your blog is such a great resource for researching agents. You've done so much of the legwork and helped us find out about new agents. You rock!
thanks. You provide a great service to us writers.
Gosh, thanks so much everyone! I'm so glad you find the feature so helpful and awesome. : )
If you ever have any questions about an agent you're querying and I haven't spotlighted them, feel free to e-mail me!
