    Hello,

    I need your candid advice about or which Google Adword book/manual you will gladly recommend that I purchase?

    1) AdWords for Dummies by Howie Jacobson's

    2) Beating AdWords by Kyle and Carlson

    Note: You may also let me know the one that worked well for you.

    Am I allowed to shamelessly plug my guide to Adwords here? Not read either of the ones you mention (they weren't around when I started out).

    Read Perry Marshall's book, disagreed with half of it, and figured most of it out for myself...

    my 2 cents is that PPC books were designed to prey on those who do not understand adwords nor affiliate marketing. Its a bunch of hype and out dated practices. They were designed to take your money and put it in there pockets.

    If you really want to learn adwords and marketing, then do this

    1. Read all of the google help and tutorials section

    https://adwords.google.com/support/?hl=en_US

    2. pass the adwords exam

    3. Find others that are learning adwords and marketing and share results

    4. Find a mentor who has at least 2 active and successful affiliate marketing campaigns currently running who is willing to help guide you for free of for cheap

    I read Perry Marshall and nothing else. Told my Works Google account manager and they were all like, yup good deal. REad that and then work with Adwords lots and lots and you'll really learn. Only so much that theory can do for you.

    I wouldn't waste my money on adwords ebooks. You will find a lot of information on the adwords help center. The best way to learn adword is by practicing with a real account. :)
