OK...understand...Your example above raises another few questions:

1.) Are Google AdWords secured by SSL to start with?
2.) Should secured pages include such content as third party adverts, 
third party analytics and other stuff which might track movement and 
content to a third party? Personally I think this would be a basic 
breach of the initial purpose of privacy and encrypting content. I'd 
rather not supply my personal details to (secured) site which has all 
kinds of third party scripts included...

To all of my knowledge Google Analytics and AdWords aren't secured by 
SSL and inclusion of it would downgrade regular SSL connections (broken 
lock) anyway. So perhaps the initial question of this thread is really 
important and I suggest to require same certificate (or at least same 
level) per site. It makes sense in my opinion...
