    Most of the times, I see sites displaying that their engineers are Google Adwords Certified. What does that mean? Does Google conduct any certification examination?

    ^ They've also mentioned "However, you can take the exam at any time", means you can take the exam maintaining all requirements concurrently..

    I think I have heard about AdWords certification but I am not sure what it involves or what are its benefits.

    To pass the exam, you have to be a client from Adwords for 3 months if I remember well, and during that time you have to keep buying $1000 per month of adword ads for you or your costumers.

    Remember that if you fail to pass the exam, you can try again later but everytime will cost you money.

    How tough is the exam? Anyone finding it truly helps them to have the bragging rights of the cert?

    Yes you should have or manage an Adwords account for 90 days.
    Here is the original requirement: "Build and maintain at least US$1,000 (or your local currency equivalent) total spend for your or your team's My Client Center account during the 90-day period. "

    Source: http://adwords.google.com/support/select/professionals/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=12241

    As you can see there is no need to spend $1000 per month.
    And yes you should pay $50 for the exam. if you fail you will need to pay again $50 for the exam. You may try to pass the exam twice a month.
