SEO and Google AdWords

Dear Shari,
....excellent information, thanks you for that!
Want to pose a statement and would appreciate yr comment.
I have seen terrible sites ignoring all the recommended tips on SEO, with only a few external links and little relevance but participating in Google AdWords with page ranking 5.
Other sites, like my own http://www.orangedwarf.com have taken into account the SEO recommendations, have quite a few external links and relevance but are not participating in AdWords and have pagerank 0.
Starting to believe that whatever you do, to a certain extend, in the architecture of the site (in line with SEO recommendations), if y're not participating in AdWords, you will not get a higher ranking!?
What is yr experience?
