    Can you enter in a competitors url, advert etc to calculate what they are paying for each click? Any idea on how to do this?

    Thanks,

    Jon

    No. You can't tell with any degree of certainty or accuracy what someone else is bidding.

    Well, in many cases you can get it right within $1 or $2. ;)

    Assuming you could, how would you ever know?

    There's a service someone posted here not too long ago... let's see if I can dig it up.

    ahh that's right www.spyfu.com, now that I look at it its probably not what you're after (d'oh!) I hope it helps though.

    What possible use would this information be to you?

    You should be setting your bids based on what makes you the most money, rather then trying to one-up your competitors, shouldn't you?
