For differentiate paid
keywords (from google adwords) from
organic keywords (from natural google search) using referral URL we must look
at URL path if it contain “aclk” then it AdWords, also “sa=l” or “sa=L” must be
set, also look at “adurl” (but it only for new).
Example : http://www.google.ru/aclk?sa=L&ai=CGQe9IKiqUre0Dcb57Abu64CABqmNzboEmeuhqXvPyIIJCAAQASgCUNCU__78_____wFghAXIAQGpAq-L8S2ZvUQ-qgQlT9Ddw9sbMjt6r62EdrGu_psl8xtrz1o3ltazQPTiTFX1Yrd6BboFEwiSy4-fyKy7AhUyBtsKHYoMAPPKBQCAB8Gp0i6QBwE&ei=IKiqUpK7BrKM7AaKmYCYDw&sig=AOD64_1pMv15FgOb54PR1JPhxPdW5MkL_Q&rct=j&q=buy+used+cars&sqi=2&ved=0CCgQ0Qw&adurl=https://www.tqmbazaar.com
In addition to the new google url format
there are three others:
- google.com/search (old format)
- google.com/url (new format)
- google.com/ie (mobile search)
- google.com/webhp (contains #hash query)
- google.com/aclk (adwords)
#hash query example: http://www.google.com/webhp#hl=en&q=flowers&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=flowers&fp=g9hIhDHDw6.
