Linking Campaigns to Salesforce for Google Adwords?

We currently track all our web-leads to specific campaigns, all but google adwords. Data from those campaigns are inserted  onto the lead record in custom fields.  We are now looking to implement Salesforce for Google Adwords. However, it looks like this is  simply treated as another lead source and is not associated with campaigns. We don't report on lead source, we only report on campaigns.

Looking for any ideas, documentation or examples on how to associate Salesforce Google Adwords into Campaigns. Or tell me I'm crazy and stear me in the right direction.

Re: Linking Campaigns to Salesforce for Google Adwords?

I'm not sure if this is what you are already doing for your current web leads, but it is possible to include a hidden form tag that will automatically add the lead to a campaign. First create a campaign where you would like to include leads from adwords, then add the following form field to the web form:

<input type=hidden name="Campaign_ID" value="campaign#" >

In addition to whatever lead information is generated, all adword leads that fill out the form will be associated with the campagin defined in campaign#.

astew gave the best guidance. 
Its actually quite easy to associate web leads to a campaign through this hidden field.
