PPC traffic being listed as organic in analytics?

I'm sending all ppc traffic (from yahoo, msn, and google) to a separate landing page (i.e. no one else sees the page accept those who click the ads). But all traffic on that landingpage is listed as "organic". I tried linking the analytics account to my adwords, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I have a different analytics account that is registering Adwords traffic as paid, but both MSN & Yahoo seems to always register as organic...how do I fix this?

Hi

Click on one of your Adwords ads and check if the url on the landingpage contains "gclid=<id>". This is required to auto-link Adwords as paid traffic.
