Definition
AdWords is a advertising and link auction service of Google that enables companies and individuals to promote their products, services and websites under a cost-per-click (CPC) model. The advertiser specifies the keywords that it wants to target, and how much it is willing to pay for each click. The ads might appear on Google’s search results as well as AdSense units.
