Google has natural results on the left and sponsored results on the right. I do not believe the natural results are affected by paid keywords at all. What you seem to be describing is the behavior of the sponsored results, which I believe are explicitly attached to certain keywords.
The same approach would work in Lucene. Create a field to hold "purchased" keywords (any keywords you want to associate with the result). Then you can include this field in your search with a high boost (see DistributingMultiFieldQueryParser, http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32674). Google prefers certain results over others for certain keywords based on various factors of the keyword purchase and the site (amount paid for the keyword, Page Rank of the site, tenure of the listing, popularity of the listing, etc.). You could emulate this in various ways, using a combination of document/field boosting and perhaps replication of the term in the field (to increase its tf), or even perhaps multiple fields that are boosted at different levels. I'm not sure of the best approach to this part -- you could experiment a little.
