Using a Website Tester on your Website?

I am just wondering whether anyone here has ever used website testing services to check how users interact with your websites?

I am referring to when real people get paid to use your website and to perform tasks that you have set out for them.

Their screen gets recorded while they do this and so do their faces. They also have to speak continuously about their experience while performing these tasks.

I have heard that users know within the first minute whether they are going to stay on your website a little longer or not and this seems like it could be a very valuable way to really see how people react to your website.

I have never used these services before but I have been a user tester and been paid for that, so I am interested to know what the thoughts and experiences are from the other side.

I have been thinking about maybe using these types of services on my websites.

LOL never used some of these services, but guess what, you really made me thinking to use my experience to provide service like this, just not sure if there is enough interested people to hire someone to do this for their sites.

Oh yes I am sure there is a market for it! Have a look at the websites User Testing, and Userlytics. They have a company based on website testing.

Of course the trick would be that the website owners are looking for specific people so things like age, gender, geographic location, language etc count.

Maybe just check out those websites I mentioned for some ideas.

Like I said in my post I would be interested in getting videos like this showing how people like my site, what they struggle with and of course the verbal feedback! Way cool!

I have heard of website tester and I was almost tempted to apply in one site before. But I know that testing a website is hard work since you have to come up with the test cases which means you need to know the architectural design of the site that includes the details of each web page.
