Why I am Proud to be a Marylander

Apreciado amigo,

I would like to share with you great news that will make many of you proud of living in Maryland. In May of 2009, I was appointed by Governador Martin O’Malley as a Commissioner for the Real Estate Commission of Maryland. It was a real honor and a great opportunity to represent Marylanders from the consumer point of view.

I welcome any suggestions, advice and ideas because this commission works for you to protect your rights. I am not just proud to be a recent citizen of this country for the benefits that I am now able to reap, but for the civil duties that I am able to embrace. Being part of the Board of the Real Estate Commission will help me start pin-pointing any issues that the community has and allow me to be the voice that represents you.

Hopefully, I can continue representing Hispanics and residents of Maryland at the state and federal level in the near future.

Here is a picture from the swearing-in ceremony with Ms. Loretta E. Knight, Clerk of the Court at Montgomery County.

Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns, I will be happy to reply.


Poor Online Marketing May Negatively Affect Sales

We found this post very interesting for you and your business, take a quick look:

A number of small businesses are failing with their online marketing efforts and this could negatively affect their sales.

That is according to research from Fasthosts, which found one-in-five firms believe under-investment in this matter is likely to have a poor effect on their sales for the first quarter of 2011.

SEO services may be one way to address this situation, as 41 percent of those quizzed admitted they do not fully optimize their search engine positions.

It was noted that 28 percent of small companies have a full understanding of their visitor numbers, perhaps suggesting they would benefit from further assistance in the matter.

Marketing director Steve Holford said: "For many small firms, battling for online visibility can be a real stress and seem too daunting a challenge to take on." However, he explained that there are plenty of options to enhance search engine positions and gain a better understanding of online marketing.

Search Engine Land columnist Eric Enge recently suggested firms also have a separate SEO strategy for local customers, which may be an extra option to consider.
