How do you know if a referrer URL is from a PPC link or a natural link on Google.

    In ASP or ASP.net, how do I work out if the REFERRER URL from Google was a Sponsored Listings link (i.e. a link from a PPC) or from Googles Natural Listings?

    Not sure what format or strings to look out for.

    Likewise form Yahoo if anyone knows :)

    ps. I am not after the ASP Code neccessarily, but more which parameters or searc strings to look for.

    I think the easiest way is to have a different landing page for the PPC ads, or at least include a querystring in your PPC url and track that in your page.

    I'm sure there is a better way rather than including a querystring in the PPC URL. I'm sure Google uses a different URL format for Adwords, but I cannot work out what it is.

    Any ideas anywone?
