Recently,there are some powerful adwords tools come into market, it?s really powerful even terrible! because for some successful adwords marketers, it s not good news, but it maybe a good news for newbie, check news below:

Adwords Marketers' Nightmare or ODYG?

Bad news:
Imagine, if you are an adwords marketer, and running many PPC campaigns, but now everyone can see EXACTLY what keywords you are bidding on for your campaigns, Do you like it?

Good news:
but there is great news too, and it s that now you can see exactly what your most successful competitors? keywords are.

This free download firefox plug-in tool called: PPC Web Spy, now burst on the scene! and it's FREE, cost nothing!

I felt it s a little bit terrible,cuz somebody can make no effort by using this free stuff to instantly steal others secret keywords!
But i felt that it s also simply amazing! it allows me to browse Google and view any advertiser's adwords keywords.

Basically, it s a small file that gets installed into your browser. When you make a Google search, this little program automatically places a "view keywords" button below every single adwords advertiser's Ads.Cool,right?

when you click "view keywords" button and really neat popup window appears that not only shows you the keywords that any adwords advertiser is bidding on, but it also shows you a ton of other information. like how much they are paying per click and so on. I am not sure if Google will intervene this or not!
here the free download link:

How can it get that info? Have you tried it with your own site (if you advertise with AdWords) to see if it's accurate?

Gee you go to the site listed and it looks like they want to sell you something, looks like a hoax to me, you can see keywords from just about any web site, and there are several online free sites that will show you what keywords drive search to a specific site, doesn't look like anything new to me.

Hey Mike,

Yea, seems fishy to me, too. How can it know how much people are bidding on each keyword?

What free tools do you use to see the list of keywords?

Thanks...

Mike

I'm wondering how any of this would be usefull as how would anyone know if the keywords were worth it?

There's a fine line between search terms that convert and those that don't and those may work on one site, but not on another.

The trick is finding what works on your site.

There are also websites offering a similar service. I think the advantage would be that you know what your competitors are bidding on. You can monitor thier keywords and if they use it for a long time you might conclude taht these keywords are interesting (otherwise they would ditch the non converting keywords).

One WDP partner is paying #1.68 per click for their Gay dating site with an unchanged standard template for which search term I have NR1 on Google for. Their conversion rate is 0%. That means they are paying for nothing.
Stick with SEO guys

I hear you. There is so much competition, but there are also people out there that do not know organic search from paid and they will click on it. PPC is sooo expensive and click fraud was always huge with me. SEO is huge, having a professional looking site, concentrating on a niche and not packing it with keywords so it is unreadable to people even though you want the engines to find you.

Hard work, but it can pay off. Read everything you can and keep on the up and up.

Note I have been advertising online for 10 years. Google adwords are a total waste of time and money.

Hi Michael,

I have to disagree as from my experience working with partners from 2003 there are hundreds of people at WDP who promote with AdWords and get high profits from this - 50%+

I personally run some campaigns myself and must say that yes, it works!
