Dynamically populate all URLS with query string?

Is there a fast way to do this?

Due to a conversion tracking program we are using we need to add?PPC=Overture to the end of all our URL's in Overture in order to track the keywords.

Does Overture give a quick way to do this?
Since many conversion tracking tools now ask for this, their should be a quick way to do this...

Is there?

Under 'account setup' there is a button to turn on 'easy track'.

This will append your URL with these paramaters:
OVKEY will show the keyword (or phrase) you entered, e.g., Used Car
OVRAW will show the keyword (or phrase) a search user entered, e.g., Honda Used Cars
OVMTC will show the Traffic Type used to match your keyword with the user's keyword - Content, Standard, and Advanced

Yes but the tracking is being done by a third party program & i need to add?PPC=Overture at the end or something similar.

So if my link URL was www.widgets.com/somepage.htm , it would become www.widgets.com/somepage.htm?PPC=Overture

just add to the end of all the listing url's you have? or am i missing something. You can edit all as a single list and propagate them down to the rest of your keyword / phrase listings

I got tens of thousands of keywords & each has a different URL - so its not possible to edit one URL & use that for all listings.

I guess an excel spreadsheet is my only option - but really Yahoo should provide a quick way to do this since so many stats program's require it.
