The word "mole" refers to a number of particles, it is not a concentration unit. Molarity is a concentration unit, equal to moles of solute per liter of solution. If you have a solution of 0.100M NaOH, that is 0.100 moles of NaOH per liter of solution, that is 4.00 grams of NaOH in a liter of solution. Molality is used quite a bit too.
