Google has always said that advertising does not affect search results. This is one way Google distinguished themselves from other search engines back in the day.

There are sometimes quite a lot of ads on the search results page these days, but they are still clearly distinguished, and I haven't heard anything about that policy changing.

Gonna disagree with "clearly distinguished". Most non-tech-savvy people I know do not tell them apart. Especially since the light yellow background got even lighter with time until it's hardly distinguishable on a cheap screen.
