In the old model (goto.com / overture / pre-panama Yahoo!), you were kind of stuck because the top bidder got top rankings regardless of how awful their ad may be. Definitely one of the good things to come about because of adWords. Great point, Jotham.

Competitors do not spend the time (or apparently have the knowledge) of a very targeted paid search campaign, so it is an area of opportunity. Wherever a search phrase has many unrelated or overly generic ads in the result, by making a specific-match ad with the keywords in the ad headline, I achieve a great click-through rate.
