Google takes on Amazon’s Prime Day with hot Home deal

It’s almost Prime Day, which means you should get your Amazon Prime affairs to make sure you can take advantage of Amazon’s special offers. And while nobody else is ready to match Amazon’s monster summer sale, some of its rivals have come up with a few pre-Prime Day offers of their own. Google, unsurprisingly, is one of them.
Among the many Prime Day deals coming your way, you’re going to see plenty of Echo sales, as Amazon is looking to deploy its Alexa assistant in as many homes as possible, now that competition in this particular business starts heating up. With that in mind, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that Google’s exclusive deal includes a Google Home smart speaker, which is Google’s response to Amazon’s Echo.
Google paired its intelligent speaker with the basic Chromecast streaming stick, and the bundle costs $99.99 over on eBay — Google’s offer is available directly from its official eBay account.
Purchased separately, Google Home and Chromecast cost $129 and $35, which means you’re saving $64 on the two. Even if you don’t really need a virtual assistant in your life right now, this is a fantastic offer that could help out with that Christmas shopping list this year.
Recent promos on either product discounted the Home all the way down to $99, while the cheapest Chromecast is $25 at some shops. However, Google’s bundle still gets you a better discount on the two product.

How to make your Blogger blog more searchable

Save A Blogger blog is a fairly simple thing. It’s easy to get up and going and it’s quick to post articles. However, there are a few simple things you can do if you want to make it easier to find your blog in the Interwebs. The first two things you can do are really simple and require no knowledge of HTML or the back end of Blogger. These instructions work for whichever blogging platform you use. Descriptive titles Yep, you’d thing this one should be easy, but many people (including myself) forget this really simple step. Make your titles really descriptive and they’ll be more likely to be indexed by Google and the other search engines. For example,  Special Report: CHOICE clothing sizes  is a good title but  Great vest  is really pretty boring. What I should have used as a title was something like  Dramatically tailored vest  (in-fact, I might just rename it). Descriptive links This is another one where people (including me) get lazy.

UFC 213 Results: Winners, Bonuses, Highlights, Attendance And Gate

Robert Whittaker gutted his way through a knee injury and took a narrow unanimous-decision win over Yoel Romero to become the UFC interim middleweight champion. He will now face Michael Bisping for the regular UFC title. Robert Whittaker celebrates after defeating Yoel Romero in a middleweight championship mixed martial arts bout at UFC 213, Saturday, July 8, 2017, in Las Vegas. (AP Photo/John Locher) July 8, 2017, in Las Vegas. (AP Photo/John Locher) Romero injured Whittaker's left knee early in the fight with a push kick, but Romero never attacked the leg again. That misstep would cost him. Whittaker was able to find his bearings after losing the second round. He outstruck a tiring Romero through the third, fourth and fifth rounds and was justifiably awarded the decision and the title. Most everyone in the MMA media agreed the fight was close, entertaining and that Whittaker deserved the decision. That kind of unfortunate behavior has become relatively common ...

More Retailers Hope to Take a Bite Out of Amazon Prime Day

Before you head to Amazon, open your browser and comparison shop WHAT TO KNOW Amazon isn't the only retailer offering deals on Amazon Prime Day, which runs from 9 p.m. on July 10 to the early hours of July 12. Keep multiple tabs open on your browser to compare prices and find the best deal. Some stores are offering discounts both online and in stores. Amazon's annual  Prime Day  kicks off Monday night, but the online superstore isn't the only retailer hoping to capture your business during a regularly sleepy month for retail. Stores such as Toys"R"Us, Target, Sur La Table and more are jumping on the bandwagon, hoping to take a swing at Amazon by staging their own versions of this summer twist on Black Friday, which for Amazon runs from 9 p.m. July 10 to the early hours of July 12. Unlike Amazon's sales event, these retailers are opening their deals to anyone, not just subscribers. It will pay to comparison shop; keep multiple...
