Wink Competitor Analysis Tools

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if there are any reliable competitive analysis tools out there that will tell me the following:

1.) What keywords competitors are bidding on.
2.) How much they are spending on Adwords - TOTAL
3.) What traffic they are getting for said keywords.
4.) How much they are bidding for certain keywords.

I realise a couple of those might not be entirely possible.

I'm thinking of speaking with Hitwise, but if there are any others to try let me know.

Thanks alot.

Cheers,

I have had some 'limited' success using www.spyfu.com. As a free user you get limited results, but some of the results will gets the cogs going.

Only really works for the larget sites, but it can get you pointed in the right direction - good for keywords

A reliable and trusted tool for what you need is pretty impossible. DOn't even understand why you need that. Focus on your OWN ppc campaign

I couldn't agree more mate. Unfortunately my last employer thought this was necessary to know. Let's just say I'm happy I've moved on to happier greener pastures yay!

And if anyone knows any tools for finding out:

5.) How many customers they have
6.) where else they get customers from
7.) how much they charged them
8.) how much profit they made
