better way of determining adwords vs natural

Do the logfile entries for adwords distinguish themselves in ANY way from natural listings clicks?

Did a search on here and the articles returned weren't really helpful. I would rather not direct adwords to a separate page, or use 'fake'
?source=adwords sort of links in URL, or is something like that my only option?

thanks!

I use conversion ruler. Why do yo not want to add?source=adwords. It does not hurt anything. No one sees it. OV and AW both have places just fot tracking URL's that do not show up in the ad. Tracking URL's are used by most people and really is a necessary part of doing business.

When people submit forms I have text at the bottom of the email that shows the referer. The tracking URL's let me know where it came from.
