David's recommendation is good. I am not aware of any simple, quality AdWords guide like the Beginner's Guide to SEO. A few other great resources:

-http://www.google.com/ads/agency/toolkit.html
- official adwords blog
- not a beginner's book but still awesome: Brad Geddes Advanced Google AdWords
- Google Engage Basic Training (AdWords for agencies)
- Free AdWords book from O'Reilly
Probably the best way to go is download the free book and go from there.

I'd recommend the Adwords learning center if you feel confident enough after studying you can even take the Adwords exam(s) and get certified.

Correlating Form Submissions to PPC vs Organic - COA

I currently don't use a landing page model. From either Adwords or Organic you reach our site, find the event product that appeals to you, and then fill out the form. I need a way to determine which of those form submissions came from Organic Vs Paid so I can calculate my cost of customer acquisition (COA). Via Google Analytics I can see that X amount of Organic were submitted and X of Paid. If I get 5 submissions in one day there isn't an efficient way to correlate the form submissions to the medium. Any suggestions on an attribute method that would help me sort out COA?

PPC for a music shop - advice

Hi, I'm pretty new to this but I'm doing my best, so I've created a few campaigns such as 'Guitars' and 'Drums' and started to add keywords to each one such as 'buy guitars online' etc would it also be wise to add brands to this campaign? or should I create a completely different campaign focusing solely on brands? What would you recommend? Thanks, Dan

Google PPC - coupon balances

So, I know that you can't simply transfer a coupon credit in Google AdWords to another account. My question, if anyone knows, is there a way to do this using My Client Center? We manage multiple accounts, and have another coming on board that has a pre-existing coupon credit. We were going to set up a new account (which we would handle billing for and just invoice) for the client. But, that would leave them unable to use a coupon code. If it's managed under MCC, is there a way to work around this?

Facebook PPC. Using Google URL Builder - Now What?

Hey There! So I've been trying some FB PPC ads. I recently learned I needed to use Google's URL builder to add the appropriate tracking fields into the URL (source, campaign, etc). The FB ad link now uses a custom URL with all the correct parameters. Now what do I do in analytics? Do I create a filter? A goal? Getting a little dizzy going in circles with google analytic help, and I'm hoping someone here can direct me. Thanks! -Dan
