Do I have to visit the US?!

We've got about 80% European and 20% US visitors. URL filter has worked very well in removing pointless adverts targeted at Europe (we got flooded with one type of advert for a few days), but we have no idea what's being shown to our US visitors. Is there a reasonably easy way of viewing our site via a US IP address?

Think its worth doing, because over a few weeks we found all sorts of what might be called spammy adverts and now the CTR and earnings are significantly higher. Adsense is pretty good at targeting, but there do appear to be bursts of irrelevancy and multiple URLs all pointing at the same site, presumably this is partly due to poor keyword selection by advertisers and partly due to doubtful adverts aimed at low CPC keywords.

I got my server in the US, live in Europe.
When I want to see my AS ads in the US I log onto my server using Remote Desktop out of XP from home and browse through my sites in an US environment.
Works for me...

Thanks. Thought there must be something here already but wasn't looking properly.
