ven if you have no ads to show, use this feature to track where PSAs show.

Here's a tip:

Even if you don't intend to show your own ads, show a blank page and use it to log which pages show PSAs and for what visitor IPs. Then you can find out if geotargeting shows PSAs that you, yourself never see, and on what pages and at what times per day...

Simple. The file you give as the alternate ad will have as referer the page on which it is displayed. Either use server side scripting to log this info, or use your standard server logs for analysis.
