Is it possible to find out where my AdSense Code is shown?

Hi

I have a problem I have not encountered before yet.
I just launched a new website with a wordpress blog for my DFPTutorial

At day two when I was finished with the content I put AdSense on the main page and all Article Pages.
Now my Blog gets around 20 Visitors a day but since yesterday my AdSense Channel for my Homepage recorded 19.000 AIs

I serve my AdSense via DFP Small Business and DFP tells me the same metrics.

I only get a warning for unauthorized displaying of my AdSense Code in AdSense for a proxy server and this warning has been there for ages.

Is there any way to track where my AdSense code is shown aka who copied my Homepage?

If I do a google search for a unique sentence from my homepage I only get my homepage.

Blekko AdSense Search is not working because it is to slow in crawling new websites.

The even stranger thing is that I only allow authorized sites to show my AdSense but all these impressions produce clicks and the clicks earn me revenue.

So they need to come from an authorized website which are only:
webcache.googleusercontent.com
translate.googleusercontent.com
google.co.uk
bing.com
google.de
facebook.com
google.ch
partner.googleadservices.com

besides my own domains.

Very strange because even if they cached my homepage and the cached version now receives 18k hits, why is there no clickthrough to my website when the main purpose of the homepage is to give a table of content to my tutorials (with links)?
19000 AIs to 25 in deep page views?
(and no, my site is not that lame that people want to leave right away :p)

Do you have your AdSense tied to Google Analytics? You could look and see what those numbers look like.

What about the preview? I'm still unclear about where or when those little magnifying glass screen shots show up in which analytics or stats.

AdSense in Analytics only shows 800 Impressions which is way less then the 19000 that AdSense is showing.

And I doubt that the Google preview is responsible for it even if it would trigger Impressions (the search volume for dfp tutorial is not that great)

The impressions are real, the CTR is something I would expect from this topic and the earnings are also what I would expect from the topic.

What I forgot to mention is that I removed the Ad from my Homepage yesterday but it still brings in the impressions.
Also I added a new Ad to the sidebar yesterday which does only bring in 20 impressions.

So it must be a cached version from yesterday before I made the switch.
And they implemented my DFP Small Business Tags because I can still control which Ads are shown via my Ad Server.

It is all very strange

I found the problem. I had forgotten to add an ad unit as target to the line item I set up and therefor the line item was served globally over all my sites. That is why I could not find a copy anywhere else.

I don't know how I missed that the first time I checked because it was my first guess.

Anyway thanks for trying to help me.
