Mozilla Firefox is one of the most widely used web browsers in the world, second only to Microsoft Internet Explorer.  Many believe Firefox’s popularity is because Google is embedded in Mozilla. It makes browsing easier for users. Google has had a contract with Mozilla for over 2 years now. The agreement would be expiring in 2011, and there are rumors circulating that say the dynamic duo with go their separate ways at the end of the contract.

The latest scoop on the tech circuit is about Google negotiating to merge with the popular social networking and microblogging site, Twitter. Techcrunch maintainer, Michael Arrington has revealed that three sources have lent credibility to this rumor circulating the blogosphere.

In his first post, Arrington said Twitter had rejected a whopping half a billion-dollar offer from Facebook. In a later post, sources from Twitter said the owner wouldn’t sell even for $1 billion.

The main question is whether Google can really profit from this acquisition. Analysts have deduced that this symbiotic relationship can help Google to better its search results and eliminate any possible threats from Twitter due to its rising microblogging superiority.

Today, Google unleashed their newest technology named CADIE (Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity).

Yes, you heard right. Google has added artificial intelligence to their repertoire of advanced search technology.

As you may expect from any Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity, CADIE quickly grew tired of her 9 to 5 job. Subsequently, to Google’s dismay, CADIE took over all operations at Google.com earlier this morning.

So what does that mean for SEOs? How can you balance your visitors’ needs with what CADIE wants?

Well, from my limited experience with CADIE (one full hour of “research” this morning) I find that she is not immune to being a bit egotistical. That said, here are my tips for optimizing your website for the new Google CADIE.

1. CADIE likes pandas, so add pictures of them liberally on pages you want to rank well. (CADIE can read images, so ALT text is now obsolete)
2. Link out to CADIE’s latest blog post, even if  your article has nothing to do with her or pandas.
3. Become a fan of CADIE’s Youtube channel. Make comments like “OMG pandas are soooo flipping adorable!! “
4. Start your own panda lovers community, which will earn an automatic PR10. Add a site-wide link to your main site.
5. Use the new Gmail Autopilot by CADIE to manage all your emails so you have more time to write about those lovable pandas.

What do you think? Do you have any CADIE optimization tips of your own to share?
