How does the Referer URL appear for Adword Clicks

Is it the same as a click from general listing?

Ok...I am now venturing into the Adwords arena and I have a very newbie question.

Let say someone searches for blue widgets:
[google.com...]

My website shows up in the REGULAR search results and the person clicks on the listing. My log file then shows a referer URL of [google.com...]

Now let's say the user clicks on my Adword instead of my regular search listing...does the referer URL still show the same information: ie. "http://www.google.com/search?q=blue+widgets"

I guess I am asking this because right now I do not have my adword URL links broken down all the way to the individual keywords...but rather to the ad level.

Link for my adword-
[mydomain.com...]

If the RefererURL is captured the same for Adword clickthru's versus regular search listing then my link should work just fine. The software I use can tie back into the actual search terms used for conversion purposes.

Thanks in advance for whoever can confirm/clarify this request.

Yep, Adwords clicks and regular clicks have the same referrer url.

Thanks mcavic.

It's going to be a late night as I hammer away at setting up this account!
