I'll try to offer up some ideas on c-betting. I'm coming from a mainly live cash game background.

C-betting is a matter of personal style, you need to find what you are comfortable with.  My advice here is it depends on who you are playing against, and who is in the hand with you.  As you advance in poker you have to play the person more and more.  Each person at the table is different and will act in their own unique ways.  C-bets will be very profitable against tight players that give you credit and will not be as profitable against aggressive, looser, more creative players that will come over the top or float.  For the most part, I'm not a big fan of c-betting too much of the time.  Its noticeable, everyone knows about it and everyone does it, and good players will take advantage of it.

Position should play a large part in you decision making with c-bets.  They are going to be much more profitable and easier to make when in position than when not.

You generally don't want to c-bet into a pot with a lot of people, its harder to assume that everyone else has missed when there are 4 players in a pot.  It also sets you up for a check raise from anyone set mining in large pots that happen to hit.

Ideally you want a dangerous board, but not too dangerous.  Lets say you open with AQ and the board is K,9,5.  Its a decent board to C-bet when checked to in position.    With the same hand if the board come K,J, 8 and theres two cards to a flush, it might not be the greatest to bet into.  You should be a little more hesistant because you are more likely to get called, more draws, and possible hands.
