Best Way to Find out Competitors Keywords used on Adwords?

Hi

The tool I use is Keyword Elite you can just plug in the phrases you want it to look at and it brings back if anyone is advertising Clickbank products.

Think it just works with Clickbank affiliates.

Here is the site:

Affliate Link: Keyword Elite

Normal Link: Keyword Elite

Hope this helps!

Spyfu is awesome, and will do exactly what your wanting to do and even more.... you might want to check it out, I think they have a trial even or a free version still... I haven't used it in awhile so dont really remember, but when i did use it I can tell you it was pretty dang good and from what I could tell from a few test we run it was pretty on the spot accurate!

Heres how I spy on what keywords competitors are using on there site

Go to the competitor site and on your browser tool bar click on view

Then click on view page source

then you can look through the notepad and see what keywords and descriptions they are targeting

spyfu and keyword spy are good once . But , the keywords are not accurate .

I use a two step approach:

1) Use a service like SpyFu or KeywordSpy to get lists of your competitor's keywords.

2) Use Project #5 in Keyword Elite to confirm they are actually bidding on the keywords found in SpyFu and Keyword Spy:


Using this approach you won't get every keyword they are bidding on (but honestly no tool can) but you do get an accurate list of keywords they are actually bidding on.

The thing with tools like SpyFu and Keyword Spy is that they don't update all keywords in real time so the keyword lists get somewhat inaccurate. I do believe that the keywords they have listed for a particular site were accurate when the search results were scanned for that keyword.

But perhaps it was a broad matched keyword Google's system no longer shows for an advertiser, or they quit bidding on it or they added it as a negative match, etc.

What the tools should do is when they rescan and update data for a keyword if an advertiser is no longer showing up it should be removed for that advertiser, but it doesn't seem that either of these tools does that.

I could be wrong though.

The page in my sig has links to all those sites in a pseudo-toolbar.
VERY easy to bounce from one to the next.

I currently use Affiliate Elite to get their keywords. I'll have to check out Spyfu too...I use it for other things but haven't grabbed competitor's keywords with it yet

If it is not SpyFu, then it can't be SpyFu. What do I mean?
I mean that I'll vote for SpyFu in regards to finding out your competitors' keywords.
