I have a huge backlog of photos to upload on my primary photo site. To motivate myself I will publish a photo a day on Waivio.com. Waivio is a Web 3.0 platform that rewards users with the WAIV and HIVE cryptocurrency. I hope that this crypto will help fund my photography addiction.

If you are interested in HIVE; contact me and I could set you up with a free account.

I took a picture of a can of spam covered with tags to discuss the problem of tag spam which is negatively affecting the HIVE blockchain.

I was drawn into a discussion about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) on a different social media platform.

While expressing my opinions on the dark art of SEO, I realized that there really should be a general discussion about the distrinction between Link Development and SEO.

The defining feature of HTML is the hyperlink. This thing we call the World Wide Web is really just a collection of linked documents.

The "Link Development" refers to the process of linking documents together. The structure of links on the web should be an important topic to every one using the web.

In the early days of the Internet, some marketers realized that search engines would be a primary source of internet traffic. They began developing strategies to capture the top spots on the search engine pages. Thus we saw the creation of Search Engine Optimization.

The proponents of SEO began developing techniques that compromises the organic structure of links on the web in favor of their own SEO efforts.

This greatly impoverished the internet. It has also negatively affected search results.
