Playing 007 With Adwords
Joseph Plazo | Oct 14, 2007 | Comments 10
Feeling like James Bond? Now you can play web-spy with a cute sounding firm that deals deadly blows to your Adwords competitors.
The cutesy firm in question is GoogSpy. Owned by VelocityScape, Googspy is free, web-based, full featured and allows you unparalleled competitor research. After a recent corporate rebranding, the service now goes by an equally cute name: SpyFu. Velocityscape renamed Googspy to SpyFu because they plan to offer spying services on engines beyond the mighty google.
Velocityscape LLC launched GoogSpy.com in the first quarter of 2005. With a few keystrokes, the service grants you intoxicating power to sleuth out the keywords competitors were purchasing on Google AdWords. You’ll love the features offered by Googspy, not just for adwords bidding, but also affiliate marketing because you can monitor trademarks and uncover keywords that affiliates go for. Imagine all the savings you’ll make by avoiding the overly high CPCs incurred by improper keywords! I used to rely solely on Jeff Alderson’s excellent Adwords Analyzer to drive traffic to my online travel affiliate service. Now I have an alternative. A battle ready one that doesn’t cost a cent!

Thanks for this, it looks like a great tool but they don’t seem to have a UK version available as yet. Does anyone know of anywhere that provides a similar service based on UK data?
It looks like a good tool eve though I’m not that into adsense but it can still reveal certain facts… Thanks!
S.
It sounds very good and impressing but I don’t know how accurate it is. I tested once and compared with real data and wasn’t even close…Maybe I will give it another try these days.
Thanks for the review
Seems that public spying has reach the world wide web!!
Spying’s necessary. Business, Socials, Politics. Every arena has someone with an ear to the door.
Even your fiancee spies on your SMS. ;)
I can’t see the reason of spying your competitors if you know what you’re doing.
It isn’t the overt that you’re concerned with. You’re more interested in the secret machinations behind the scenes.
Check out Machiavelli’s The Prince
