Google made it clear at its press event today that Google Instant will not change way that company will rank adds or show ads. From the Google blog:

"We recommend monitoring your ads' performance the same way you usually do. Google Instant might increase or decrease your overall impression levels. However, Google Instant can improve the quality of your clicks since it helps people search using terms that more directly connect them with the answers they need.

Evelyn Rusli — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:20:13 +0000

After Google's search event this morning, TechCrunch TV got a chance to catch up with Marissa Mayer, Google's VP of Search Products and User Experience, in the demo pit. In our brief video interview, an enthusiastic Mayer touts Google Instant as a "whole new way to search,"a game changer akin to the introduction of power steering in the automotive industry.
