can adwords help your google position on keywords?

something ive noticed....I have a adwords campaign for a couple of key words...mainly my hometown city and the word plumbing.....I typically get 5-10 hits on it a month..roughly $25 a month......I noticed under those 2 words my website is now #2....it was nowhere before



did people clicking on adwords under those keywords help my website listing?



is this a way to raise where your website comes up in google?
