AdSpy I guess does what you want.
At least it spies for your keywords and collects information for you.

KeywordSpy.com is a cool service to get all your competitors' keywords and ads and stats right at once for subscription fee.

Does anyone know how keywordspy obtains competitors keywords. I use to get keyword elite and gather a huge list of keywords related to the niche i'm investiating, maybe they do this but on a much fast scale (takes soo dam long with KE) with huge ASS keyword lists.

Hex*atrack will work also. It's quite expensive but supposedly tells you the bids amounts also. I think there is a free version.

The Google KW tool? If that's what you're on about, then that only suggests relevant keywords based on the page content. Google won't give you your competitors keywords. You'd need specialist tools for that and i doubt even they could ever be 100% accurate, because any "spying" is surely based on numerous search queries and the logging of results?

My vote goes for Keywordspy (paid version not the limited free triel) .
I used that tool and got a good ROI.

It's not 100% reliable and the other country option is even worse, but still like it until I find something better.
