Well all those not using the conversion tracking URLs, that is.

For example, all those ads that don't use the conversion tracking have a URL that looks like: /url?sa=l&q= and go to a 404 error page on Google while those that use the conversion tracking have a URL that looks like: /pagead/iclk?adurl= work. What do you guys see?

Looks like ads not using conversion tracking were going to a URL that contained two forward slashes after Google's domain instead of one like google.com//url?sa=l&q= which was causing the 404 error. When I cleared my cookies it fixed itself - very strange.
