Googspy- Adwords Competition intelligence while it lasts

What is Googspy? Well its a little embarassing, because if you knew how, you could find out all the terms I am advertising on, if you knew what my sites were. Basically what they do is query Google a half a million times a day on all kinds of different keywords, and they grab the different advertisors that appear under those keywords and stick them all in a database. If you are in the top 8 they grab your ad as well, although their data isn't that complete. It will take them longer to do enough queries to grab ALL the data (there are at least 200,000 advertisors on millions of keywords) but for only being active for a few days the volume of intelligence already gathered is enormous.

You can also search a keyword, and find the top 25 advertisors who also advertising on that term, then you can click on one of them to also see what other keywords that competitor is are advertising on.

They opened up about 4 days ago and got so much traffic that it overwhelmed their hosting account, so they have the site http://www.googspy.com on a bigger server. This is one of those things that you should just check out while it lasts, because it is free at the moment, and I am sure Google will get them shut down soon. In the meanwhile, go and get as much competitive data as you can. Research top competitors, see how you compare, and get new keyword ideas from your competitors. If I am wrong and it stays up and it stays free, great. If not, don't say I didn't warn you :)
