Why Google do not show where our ads are shown?

[lorien]

I am a very beginner for Google adwords. I wonder why we can not see where our ads are shown? Is it very difficult for Google to show it or does not it have the courage to do it?For example -adwords 1- can be viewed @ somewhere.com at the moment.I think it will be better like this.
Also I wonder that if you make the selection content network, Google will show your adtext in its partner sites.consider one of its partner sites such as aol.com is a popular site and another partner site is not popular as aol.com.(by popular i mean daily click rate is high).if my adtexts are shown in unpopular partners and my competitors' at aol.com will it be a matter? How Google distributes adtexts?
Is it fair?

Google cannot show you where they display your ads for a couple of reasons. Say a page request ads from Google and Google display your ads. If you display the same page on your browser, the page request ads from Google again and based on your CTR, budget, geographical location and other criteria, Google serves up the ads. Therefore the same 2 pages may not dispay the same ads.

At the moment, Google seems not to take into account a site or page's popularity when displaying ads, meaning if your ads fulfill certain criterias, they will be displayed irrespective of where it is displayed.

Is it fair? What are you refering to? Fair for whom? What is fair? Where's the line between fair and unfair? :D

thomas you said" for a couple of reasons". what are they and why? anyway it is my job but i never think one can reach millions of people with online advertising.i read almost whole of the forum,i got the impression that "google" is a perfect system.some people ask "i want to rank higher" or something else.moderators and other members advices change your keywords,change your cpc etc..but why? may be we are not wrong, their system can work wrongly sometimes.can't it be?i got the impression that the problems are always at the side of customers' not the google.
