Yet again, Not a python coder, Just crusing around on the python fourms.
But if I was going to attempt to do somthing as such I would be looking at how to do a HTTP GET request good looking artical here and also look at how you would parse your HTML perhaps using regular epressions explained here
Anyhow hope this helps somehow

I think you will have to have a look at the surrounding tages for each link. If you have a look at google you will notice that all sponsored links are in a sepirate div tags. The best way to tackle this may be to do say 12 separate seraches on google that return sponsors then chuck them into diff see what changes and what is similar about the pages.
