It could be some form of signature to prevent people sabotaging adwords 
with robots. Adwords purchasers pay per click. There have been 
incidents in the past 
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/03/google_adwords_attack/ sites 
one example) of people simulating views/clicks for their own benefit or 
for the detriment of their competitors.

Multiple parameters = multiple adwords on the page?
