And I can't name names, but some pretty decent-sized orgs have gotten in touch to tell me their conversions have gone up using float labels.

Float labels as alternative for what exactly? Left aligned? Top aligned? Just placeholders?

The position, color, size etc of a label have a huge influence on the usability of the form. Going from crappy to a fancy float isn't fair.
