How much is my Competitor paying per Click?

Is it possible to tell how much someone is paying for their position?

Is it possible to tell how much someone is paying per click?

I was wondering whether the long link address that appears in the address pane on IE would reveal anything? The link reveals the position (it has ='position number' at the end ie. =1) but then I know that anyway!

Anybody have any other ideas?

I know how to see Overtures bidding but not Googles.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you can. Also, I think that is by design. Unlike Overture, Google does not want people to see that information.

Nope you cannot see that and position is also related to CTR which you also do not known. So position does not tell you much about the bids of the others. Make sure your CTR is as high as possible that helps you go up and pay less than your competition.

You cannot tell precisely but you can guess if you know your own keywords well. After a while you will know which are in the 50c region and which are $5 or whatever.
