How can I find pages showing my content-targetted ads?

I'd like to see a sampling of the places where my "content targeted" advertisements might show up. Is there any way to do this?

Something like this typed into google would be ideal, if I was bidding on the keywords "brown widgets":

------brown widgets pagead2.googlesyndication.com/foo.js

Of course, that does not actually work. Is there a way that does?

slightly relevant, although I know your question is different...

The only way to find pages that your ads are running on through AdSense is to simply surf around looking on sites within your keyword areas that also run AdSense, and see if your ads appear. And even if your ads do appear on a particular site, they will rotate, so you could see it on one page view but not the next.

If you take user feedback, perhaps ask how they found your site - you might get some leads on where your ads are running if they say "oh, I saw it at xyz.com".

I doubt Google will offer advertisers more specific information, because that would give advertisers the information they need to go right to the sites with the best ROI, effectively cutting Google out of the picture. So while it would be nice, I doubt it is a feature they will ever offer.
