Adwords is Google’s advertising program. You bid on keywords to have your ads appear alongside search results for those keywords. It’s pay-per-click advertising, which means you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. In addition to targeting keywords you can exclude keywords or target your campaigns to specific geographic areas. Adwords is an effective way to advertise any size website.
Google Grants is not open to everyone, but most community organizations and advocacy groups should be eligible to apply. They also expect you to make use of the free account and may terminate it if you let it go dormant.
