Advertisers are increasingly turning to the Internet to market their products and services. Google AdWords, auction-based advertising program, enables advertisers to deliver relevant ads targeted to search queries or web content to potential customers across Google sites and through the Google Network.

Google technology automatically matches ads to the content of the page on which they appear, and advertisers pay Google either when a user clicks on one of its ads or based on the number of times their ads appear on the Google Network.

Google was something new that created shockwaves for the Internet and now everything is trying to fall in line with Google.
