    That's funny. I'm guessing you spent more time writing this post than it would have taken to do a Google 'Instant' Search.

    Anyways, let me actually answer your question. If you still feel to lazy to google it.

    Copywriting is the use of words to promote a person, business, opinion or idea. Although the word copy may be applied to any content intended for printing (as in the body of a newspaper article or book), the term copywriter is generally limited to such promotional situations, regardless of media (as advertisements for print, television, radio or other media). The author of newspaper or magazine copy, for example, is generally called a reporter or writer or a copywriter.
    (Although the word copywriting is regularly used as a noun or gerund, and copywrite is sometimes used as a verb by professionals.)

    Thus, the purpose of marketing copy, or promotional text, is to persuade the reader, listener or viewer to act — for example, to buy a product or subscribe to a certain viewpoint. Alternatively, copy might also be intended to dissuade a reader.

    Copywriting can appear in direct mail pieces, taglines, jingle lyrics, web page content (although if the purpose is not ultimately promotional, its author might prefer to be called a content writer), online ads, e-mail and other Internet content, television or radio commercial scripts, press releases, white papers, catalogs, billboards, brochures, postcards, sales letters, and other marketing communications media.

    Content writing on websites is also referred to as copywriting, and may include among its objectives the achievement of higher rankings in search engines. Known as "organic" search engine optimization (SEO), this practice involves the strategic placement and repetition of keywords and keyword phrases on web pages, writing in a manner that human readers would consider normal.

    Copywriting is more than just stringing a few words together; it’s an art, the art of communication, understanding and persuasion.

    It's good to see that some people still take the time to answer, instead of telling everyone to google X\Y.

    Copy write is the art and science of writing words to promote a product, a business, a person or an idea; and carefully selecting, editing, weaving and constructing those words in a way that they’ll persuade the reader into taking a specific and measurable action.

    Correct! when you `copy' the `writing' of others it is `copywriting.'

    Hmmm... did I mean `Incorrect?'

    Copywriting is the act of writing copy for the purpose of selling or marketing a product, business, or idea. The term copywriting is often used interchangeably with content writing or freelance writing, though this is technically incorrect. A copywriter is one who writes for promotional purposes, and although they may very well be a freelance writer, they have a specific marketing purpose.
