    Hey everybody. In my server logs, I can see the link that people clicked on in google. I am running adwords, and I am trying to figure out how to determine which clicks are on ads and which are on a normal search result. Is it possible to determine that from the links? Here are some examples of the links I see:

    For sure a search result click:

    .google.com/search?client=safari &rls=en &q=be+weary+sending+money+western+union &ie=UTF-8 &oe=UTF-8 (be weary sending money western union)

    most likely ad click, not 100% sure:

    .google.com/search?hl=en&q=roommate+needed (roommate needed)

    .google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t &ie=UTF-8 &rlz=1T4DKUS_enUS221US222 &q=need+a+room+%2ecom (need a room .com)
