Do you want the best paying ad showing?
Or do you prefer several lesser ads that may not earn as much?
Assuming it's not relevant:
You might want to consider filtering it. Or better yet, you might want to try the targeting tags, because if you're showing non-relevant ads your issue is targeting and not that advertiser. If the ads are new, it might take a little while for the relevance to tweak itself.
That's the way google designed it to work. They show "expanded ads" if they feel it will earn you more money than 4 ads. They show 4 ads if they feel it will earn you more money than 1 expanded ad.
It could also be a site targeted CPM based ad, which means an advertiser targeted your site for their ads to show there on an "impression" basis (meaning you could be getting paid each time the ad shows, not when it's clicked)
Is there anyway to find out who has signed up to show targetted ads on your site?
I don't think so.
This is instrusting. so leting it display is ok!
If all works as google has designed it (doesn't always happen), then letting it display is the best option since Google has algorithms designed to maximize your earnings (remember: if you earn more, then google earns more).
