I've both read trials of 3rd parties and run campaigns where ads are a significant boost to the site already ranking #1 in organic results.

The price of AdWords has certainly gone up, but the value hasn't declined.

Unless you compare to an ad free version of search, you can't prove that the value of placing an ad is more than the negative value of an ad being sold to a competitor.

Haven't ever wanted to prove that!
