identifying facebook ads and google ads referers - El Forum - 05-13-2011

Hello,
I created a contact form which sends to my client, among other info, the URL of the referring page. When the user comes from a google or facebook page, my client wants me to identify if it was a google/facebook ad, or an organic referral.
I've noticed that sponsored google links start with: http://www.google.com/aclk?
Is this a reliable method to identifiy paid referrals?
And does anyone know if facebook paid referrals are easy to tell apart?
Any suggestions/hints are more than welcome!
