Many of the sites above feature tabs that have been created and uploaded by other guitar players just like you. What this means is that these players are not professionals, and their tabs might not be absolutely perfect. In addition, transcribing a song for guitar that was originally performed on, say, the cello and the viola is a very difficult process. These tabs are typically just sketches that try to capture the general feel of the song. When you look at them, try to keep this in mind, and when you play along, feel free to experiment and do what you think will make the song work best for you. In other words, use these transcriptions to help you create your own unique versions.
