Does anyone know of any software out there that can track competitors facebook ads like there is software that can track a website google PPC ads?

Just curious how one could do reverse engineering on facebook ads or find out how companies are marketing to people with facebook ads. Any ideas?

    I haven't seen anything like this out there.

    If it exists it would be fairly speak easy since Facebook will send a "cease and desist" out to even ad unloading software.

    I've seen Facebook ad scrappers before, but nothing to track other people's ads.

    They exist but the guys who are advertising them are playing with fire for sure.

    The negative aspects of Facebook PPC ads are that they don't show you the bids before you and after you. Unlike a "normal" PPC ad network, they only show you "how much you should pay" or "how much you paid on average".

    It's frustrating that we cannot see the real bids. It's all so automated and we cannot play with the PPC big gaps, which I could always exploit with 7Search, for example.
    Even AdWords gives us so many details, we can better calculate the budget.

    I was surprised how simple, rudimentary the Facebook PPC system is...
