[P]sychological evidence suggests that is is close relationships, a meaningful life, economic security, and health that contribute most to well-being. While there are marked improvements in happiness when people at low levels of income earn more (as their economic security improves and their range of opportunities grows), as incomes increase this extra earning power converts less effectively into increased happiness. In part, this may stem from people’s tendency to habituate to the consumption level they are exposed to. Goods that were once perceived as luxuries can over time be seen as entitlements or event necessities.

Joost and Frederick discussed Google’s Webmaster Tools with this weeks guest John Mueller from Google. All the sections of Google Webmaster Tools were discussed, and their different uses for bloggers, from the new search queries and ranking overview to sitelinks, crawl errors, XML Sitemaps and the recently updated Google News Sitemaps (there’s actually a WordPress plugin for those).

In the news this week: several upcoming WordCamps, as well as the fact that WordPress 3.0 beta 2 was released.

In the plugin picks, at the tail end of the show, Frederick picked IntenseDebate, a very cool comment system by Automattic. Joost…

In my website i have more than 10 pages of one category, so it is obvious that i should have same title tag for all these 10 pages with Same Page Heading, but google gives "duplicate title Tag" and "duplicate Description" error.
what can i do
should i "NoIndex,Follow" other pages rather than first page, if so then my remaining page creating effort is useless.

E.g

Url 1: Doctors in Delhi Page Number: 1 – Moogle.in ……here it is P1
Title 1: Doctors In Delhi

Url 2: Doctors in Delhi Page Number: 2 – Moogle.in ……here it is P2

Google News Blog: Bringing Living Stories to WordPress: Google is releasing their Living Stories experimental format as a plugin and a theme for WordPress.  Living Stories is an experimental news format from Google. In the form of a plugin, each Living Story would be a WordPress category with the plugin allowing a blogger to add the stories themselves. An example would be nice to see but none is to be found yet. Thanks to a writeup on ReadWriteWeb I would love to see an example blog or screenshots.

See that nice dip in the graph for this week? I started to preload the cache used by WP Super Cache last Sunday and it’s made a noticeable difference in the load on my server here. The big spike is the preloading process.

I’ve always discouraged users from preloading the cache (Askapache Crazy Cache will do this for any cache plugin), mainly because of the possible problems so many files will cause for hosting companies. If you have thousands of cache files, it’s going to take so much longer to recover from a disk crash.
On the other hand,…

He also outsources SEO and viral content creation (through several agencies).

There’s much much more, check out his full presentation on the topic on the recent ThinkVisibility conference. We later went on to discuss how to…
