Ad Categories

How do you find out what category an ad is from?

I'm seeing a lot of off-topic ads. They're all from the same basic category (which has nothing to do with my site!). Went into 'General categories' to see about blocking them, but I can't figure out what set they belong to and the 'Search general categories' box doesn't find them either. Any ideas?

Sorry, that's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about categories, not domains.

Found it on the AdWords side. Still don't see how (or if it's even possible) to drill down to 'Shopping' and block one of it's sub-categories - here's the page

ASA? netmeg?

At the moment the new interface doesn't want to open for me, all I can get is the old one, and that doesn't have all the same blocking options (why it sometimes does that I have no idea) But I don't think you can block categories at that granularity on the publishing side.

Thanks netmeg. I don't see any way to do it. Guess those ads are here to stay until Google gets their targeting sorted out.
