Is that possible?

If you mean "What ads" the answer is no.

No.. The websites keep changing as advertisers come in or drop out. This is an almost impossible project. I have tried but have failed.

Just filter out the most obvious MFA's , and leave the rest to G. If CPC starts to fall, investigate again..This is what I do.

I mean filtering competition. Time to time you discover sites advertising on your own your reall don't want it there and act like a detective is not a comfortable task...

"act like a detective is not a comfortable task... "

But it HAS to be done or your site will be flooded with MFA or Competition.

Random checks every now and then are necessary.

It is tough with a large site but no escaping it..

The answer is no. The AdSense preview tool only shows you some of the advertisers, but never the entire pool. If you know of any specific advertisers you want out, you can always just drop them into the filter.

You can maybe get a hint by checking who's advertising on AdWords, but if the ads are geotargeted, there may be advertisers in other countries who you still may not be able to dig out.

It's definitely not a very satisfactory tool.
I guess that you can start viewing your site using proxies of the countries you want to monitor. You'd need to keep viewing all the pages at least once a day (and for each of the countries you want to monitor)
It's probably best to employ someone just for that task.

On the other hand, you could take a deep breath and choose to ignore what appears on your site and spend the time on other things (increase your traffic, create content, have a good time...)

It's definitely not a very satisfactory tool.

It is a satisfacory tool when you consider it's intended purpose; which is a tool for checking general ad targeting.
