More info in Google Adsense preview tool?

Or I'm just a slow learner :)

Ok it seems to me "living under a rock as I do" that there is a lot more info in the google adsense preview tool than before. When selecting a number of ads and then clicking on "Show selected URL's" I can now see info about the adwords campaign, what query string is supposed to pull the ad, which engine sets - if the ad is for a specific geogrpahy and most interestingly of all for me as I had never seen anything other than the advertisers url before, in the case of 3 ads they had my site url in the string - suggesting that perhaps I was targetted? If I'm interpreting correctly. I only have contextual ads - has targetting contextual ads on sites already begun? Some advertisements still just show the url and no additional info but I am seeing a lot with further detail now... however, the thing that intrigued me most was the presence of my own url in the strings of 3 sites - sorry I'm probably behind the times as usual but has anyone else noticed this and is there a way to ask not to be "targetted" if that is what is happening because the 3 sites that had my site specified were the worst kind of MFA's and there wish to target me was smart business and I totally no why but it does me zero good and of course they've all had to go into the filter but I hope this isn't going to become a whole new battle.

If anyone can shed any light thanks in advance.

Becks,

if you are seeing something like this...

http://www.somekeywordstuffeddomain.com/?query=Elbonia+Hotels&referrer=Adwords&camp=Content+99
&group=Elbonia+Hotels+Content&keyword=elbonia+hotel&creativeid=123456789&sourcesite=www.yoursite.com&traffictype=content

...then you have most likely been site targeted by a certain (MFA) advertiser. You see, this kind of information is not provided for all advertisers and therefore most likely not provided by Adsense or the Adsense Preview Tool. Apparently it comes directly from the campaign details of the advertiser.

[edit] I see that you mentioned that you have just PPC ads running (did you request that from Adsense support?). Then this is indeed strange. But you are right that this could be site targeted PPC. [/edit]

Hi thanks for your answer - yes I am seeing what you've shown with my site in the source site and I only run ppc contextual, I e-mailed adsense and after the obligatory 2 emails had site-targetted cpm turned off. Looking at my adsense reports shows their is no cpm running on the site when I break the reports down to by ad level.

I guess I'm not used to seeing this string because I turned off cpm quite soon after signing up.
