What does a google ad show as in my referrers?

Dumb question I know, so sue me I'm new to this.

When I look at my referrer logs what will a click on a Google ad show as?

If it's coming from google.com it will look like this:

http...www.google.com/q=word

Which is unfortunately exactly the same as if they clicked on a natural listing. If you want to track clicks from google AdWords, use a unique landing url, perhaps with a parameter appended to the url, ie

http...mysite.com/mypage?source=google

If it's coming from an AdSense publishers site, it will look like

http...googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=*&blah=blah&url=www.somepublisher.com/somepage

Ah I see- this is most annoying.
