' How many adsense sites rely upon natural search in the first place?'

Mine do, old Mate.

I simply have no option other than to believe that Google is trying to get better and fairer results, I can not think of a reason why they should do otherwise. I also think that Google will continue to keep separate its ppc section, here also I can not think of a sensible reason why they should not do so.

Nobody really knows what Google will or won't do in the future. But I think discarding any thoughts as silly as destroying what they have successfully built up over the past few years, would be a good starting point.

Google wish to improve their position.

As for Matt Cutts. . Why do you read what he says ? ? ? ? In Queensland we used to have a Premier, who referred to his daily meet with journalists. " Feeding the Chooks (chickens)" I expect Matt cutts considers his postings are much the same. . There are far to many people willing to swallow up every word he says. . ( it even amuses him to pluck obscurities from mid air) Just Feeding the Chooks!
