While I'm sure that Google enjoys the side effects of this 'Publishers Clearinghouse' style myth (ie. it leads to more business for them), it's pretty well established that you cannot improve your position in search results by using either Adsense or Adwords. At most, Google *may* share some of their crawling and indexing infrastructure between services so a side effect may be a small increase in the 'freshness' of your indexed content (even that is somewhat speculative, and your site would have to be pretty 'stale' to see any benefit in any case). Ranking and relevance calculations are done independently for different services inside the Google cloud precisely to prevent this sort of influence, even the unintended variety.
