Who’s Bill Miller you ask. He’s an American Indian Folk singer that I listened to many years back. 

Earlier this evening I was watching “So You think You can Dance” with my girlfriend (the things we do for those we love ) and their was an Ani DiFranco song that one of the dancers was dancing to and we got into a debate who was better her or Tori Amos .  I of course was on Tori’s side.  She is the first crush I can remember from when I was kid. 

But the reason I’m thinking about Bill Miller at 1:52am is he was Tori’s opening act at a concert I went to about 10 years ago and I was instant fan.  How often do you see an opening act get a standing ovation? 

I even remember the first CD I bought of his.  I wasn’t smart of enough to buy a CD at the concert so I had to special order one.  I wasn’t into the internet at that point in my life so I had to find a little hole in the wall record store down by the university that would actually order the CD for me.  It was about a 5 hour process tracking down someone who would actually do this.

Somewhere along the path of life I lost the CD and completely forgot about him until tonight, and I just want to take the opportunity to share this great guitar player and folk singer with those who come across this page.  I won’t bore those of you not into Folk music especially American Indian Folk music so I put a clip on here most of you should enjoy.

Ladies and Gentlemen Bill Miller doing Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues:

ps.  watch his fingers starting at the 4:14 mark until 5:05 if you appreciate acoustic guitar you’ll love that.

Bill Millers Official Site If you want to more more about him I just found the site myself so I really haven’t explored it at all.

That’s enough for me tonight I have to try to get to sleep.

That’s’ right a Adwords Professional!

Well, not really .  But I did pass the test for my new company.  

What I will say is it was a little more difficult than I thought it would be.  Since I was hardly ever in Adwords before starting at the new job most of the stuff was new and I spent 1.5 days reading through the Learning Center .  It was 111 questions in 90 minutes and it took me all but 14 seconds of that time to finish it. 

Really I just wanted to brag I passed it and in all honesty I learned alot more about Adwords taking that test then I probably would of learned in the same 1.5 days fiddling around in it.

I got the Internet Marketing Specialist position that I talked about back on June 6th (Read about that here) and I’m more excited than I can express.  

I interviewed on a Friday and was offered the position on Monday.  Once they offered the position, I had two give two weeks notice to my current Job so I completely stopped blogging on here because I didn’t want to jinx myself before I got the chance to walk through the front door :lol:

This one of those Dream Jobs that everyone talks about having but very few actually ever get to have.   So I feel Very luck to even be talking about it and the only problem I have is I don’t know what I can write about here and what I can’t as far as SEM and SEO is concerned. 

One of the first things I did on my first day is sign a non-compete agreement which basically stated I wouldn’t give away any trade secrets and with this type of position isn’t just about anything you think about at work a trade secret?

Hopefully I can get some clarity and begin re-blogging but I think it’s more than likely my SEO Thoughts will have to move over to the corporate blog for the time being.

Google has finally officially answered the question on if duplicate content will cause you penalties and the answer is No. If your not sure what I’m talking about see here and here for a couple examples of writers talking about the duplicate content penalty.

Sven Naumann of the Google Search Quality Team has announced on the Google Webmasters Blog that:

“When encountering such duplicate content on different sites, we look at various signals to determine which site is the original one, which usually works very well. This also means that you shouldn’t be very concerned about seeing negative effects on your site’s presence on Google if you notice someone scraping your content”

he then concludes with:

“I’d like to point out that in the majority of cases, having duplicate content does not have negative effects on your site’s presence in the Google index. It simply gets filtered out.”

It seems Jim Whalen over at Search Engine Land had it right all along when he wrote The Duplicate Content Penalty Myth back in ‘07. There is also a nice read on how it’s not a penalty and how the filter possibly works over at Webconfs.
