Do organic penaltys affect paid prominence?
-
This is a hypothetical question, we're pitching to a potential client tomorrow and I noticed they currently rely almost entirely on AdWords but engage in some pretty sketchy link building schemes.
And so that got me thinking, is there any evidence to show that when a site is penalised for their organic results it has an affect of any kind of paid searches?

Ppc and organic are completely seperate. I have a client that got hit really bad from panda, so they started ppc while they cleaned up their website content...their Ppc ads were in position 1, while their organic listings were below page 5. I didn't notice low quality scores, or high cpc, from their Adwords campaigns, so I don't think ppc and organic results are related at all

And even Google has said that buying AdWords does nothing to boost your organic results.

Organic penalties do not affect paid placements. They are completely different products.

PPC sessions being counted as organic in GA
I am coming across a very frustrating phenomenon in one of my PPC campaign reporting. In short: I believe that GA is counting some of my PPC sessions as organic (not provided). Has anybody come across this before? I believe they are being counted as organic because of the following: the website is brand new and does not rank for anything but their branded terms the few keywords showing up in GA are the terms we target our PPC towards the amount of sessions of Paid Search (in channels) and AdWords sessions don't match up (The number of actual PPC clicks is substantially higher than the Paid Search sessions) PPC clicks and sessions don't even match up in the AdWords part of GA GWT shows 0% CTR for any non branded terms Tell me I am crazy, but I really don't think I am. I just don't have the hard evidence to back it up. Any help is greatly appreciated.
