Is there a way I can search Google without triggering my ads? I dont want to lower my CTR. Im wanting to look at the ad copy of my competitors, so am searching on similar terms as what Im bidding on. Thanks
use firefox and activate the addons adblock when you’re researching competition :
that way no ad will display.
edit: sorry I misread. In fact I don’t know, perhaps it is an option in adwords to display your campaign only on content network (adsense publishers) that way you’ll be able to search keywords and not see your ad, when you’ve finish researching, activate them again. That’s not ideal, but might work if it is at all possible.
try this link and see if it is what your after

it will show the ads for you and your competitors without affecting your CTR
Thats just what I was look for Caddy!
I know there’s solutions such as SpyFu to perform competitor research, but I dont have the budget to buy it. I do think I remember reading somewhere about a techniuq you can use to stop triggering your own ads.
