Hi,
A site using SEF Advance is not properly tracking Adwords results
According to Google support...
Is there a way I can append gclid onto the end of the friendly urls?
Thanks

Auto-tagging automatically adds a parameter to the end of each of your AdWords destination URLs in order to identify visitors as AdWords referrals. The tag captures keyword, campaign, ad content information, and your ad's position when a user clicked it. The parameter used in auto-tagging is called "gclid." However, due to your website's redirect, the gclid parameter is being removed from the URL. As such, we're unable to properly track visitors reaching your site through AdWords. We suggest contacting your webmaster to append the gclid parameter to the redirected URL.
Is there a way I can append gclid onto the end of the friendly urls?

If you append any parameter it should work fine. If you get a redirect it can depend on something else. Try running SEF Advance wit default settings (reinstall without backup).
Here you can see that there is no redirect:
